Phosphorylated AMPK/AMPK ratio is significantly reduced in the ventral midbrain region of Parkin null or PINK1 null mice brain. a Left, immunoblots showing the levels of pAMPK, AMPK, PGC-1α, PARIS, and Parkin in the three selected brain regions of 4–6-month-old wild-type (+/+) and Parkin null (−/−) mice. Right, bar graphs showing the average densitometric value of pAMPK/AMPK ratio and PGC-1α level in these regions (n = 7). (B) Left, immunoblots showing the levels of pAMPK, AMPK, and PGC-1α in the three selected brain regions of 7-month-old wild-type (+/+) and PINK1 null (−/−) mice. Right, bar graphs showing the average densitometric value of pAMPK/AMPK ratio and PGC-1α level in these regions (n = 4). The blots above were stripped and reprobed with anti-actin antibody to reflect loading variations. All the experiments above were repeated at least three times. (*p < 0.05 and **p < 0.001 compared to respective wild-type region)
