Figure 8.Immunostaining of TH in dopaminergic neurons. Transverse section taken through the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) and the ventral tegmental area (VTA), immunostained for TH to evaluate the dopaminergic-induced injury by stereotaxic injection of 6-OHDA in the right side. Histograms shows the percentage of TH+ fibers loss in striatum (CPu) and TH+ cell bodies in substantia nigra (SN) (expressed in percentage of unlesioned side). * p< 0.05, *** p< 0.0005 vs Ctr; + p< 0.05, ++ p< 0.005 vs 6-OHDA.
