The number of TH-ir neurons and density of TH-ir fibres were determined in the substantia nigra (SNc) and striatum respectively (a,b). There was a significant decreased number of TH-ir neurons are found in the ROT injected rats when compared to control rats (CON). However, BSB treatment to ROT injected rats showed a significant increased number of TH-ir neurons compared to ROT alone injected rats (a). Similarly, a significant decrease in the TH-ir striatal fibres expression was observed in ROT injected rats when compared to control rats. Moreover, BSB treatment to ROT injected rats showed enhanced expression of TH-ir fibres in the striatum (b). The scale bar is 100 µm. The quantitative representation of the result of TH-ir neurons in SNc and measurement of TH-ir fibres density are shown (c,d). Each group contained three rats and the data were expressed as percent mean ± SEM. * p < 0.05 CON vs ROT; # p < 0.05 ROT vs. BR (One-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s test).
