(A) DFP treatment partially rescues α-syn-PFF-induced TH- and Nissl-positive neuronal loss. n = 7 biological replicates per group. Scale bar, 400 μm.
(B) DFP treatment partially rescues α-syn-PFF-induced decrease in neuronal TH and DAT protein levels by western analysis. n = 3 biological replicates per group.
(C) DFP treatment reduces deficit in pole test performance of α-syn-PFF-injected mice.
(D and E) DFP treatment improves grip strength in α-syn-PFF-injected mice. Total grip strength shown in (D). Forelimb strength only shown in (E). n = 9–11 biological replicates per group.
Data indicate mean ± SEM. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001, by two-way ANOVA (A–E) with Tukey’s HSD post hoc test.
