ALA ameliorates motor behavior and prevents DA neuron loss in the SN of PD rat models. ALA ameliorates apomorphine-induced rotation behavior (A) and fine motor activity in the 6-OHDA-induced rat model of PD (B). Data were expressed as the means ± SD (n = 15/group) and analyzed by one-way ANOVA. The immunohistochemical staining of TH-positive neurons in the SN. Scale bar, 500 μm (C). The number of TH-positive cells was averaged from three non-overlapped fields per slide of the SNpc region. (D) Quantification of TH-positive neurons in the SN. Data were presented as the mean ± SD (n = 3). Statistical significance: *P < 0.01 compared with the sham group; #P < 0.01 compared with the PD group by ANOVA.
