FIGURE 6.
Transient reduction of TH positive neurons in the injected substantia nigra. (A) Tile scans of the injected (right) and non-injected (left) SN stained for TH in sham and ET injected rats showing a decrease in the number of TH-ir cells in the injected side of SN at day 3 only. (B) Bar charts representing the percent variations of TH positive cells count in sham (n = 5) and ET-injected rats at different time intervals (n = 5 at each time point). A significant decrease is noted at day 3 (P < 0.001) post-injection. Student t-test was used to determine statistical significance.
