Striatal neurotransmitter content. (A,B) Striatal tissue DA and DOPAC content are expressed as pico-grams per mg of wet weight of tissue. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM: DA, F(2,9) = 4.61, *p < 0.05 B4galnt1+/− + BSS compared with WT and B4galnt1+/− + OligoGM1; DOPAC, F(2,9) = 4.834, *p < 0.05 B4galnt1+/− + BSS compared with WT and B4galnt1+/− + OligoGM1 (n = 4, one-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni’s multiple comparisons test). (C) Striatal tissue norepinephrine content data are expressed as arbitrary units (mvolt). Data are expressed as mean ± SEM (n = 4, F(2,9) = 4.915, *p < 0.05 B4galnt1+/− + BSS compared with WT and B4galnt1+/− + OligoGM1; one-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni’s multiple comparisons test).
