Figure 5
The combined treatment restored the number of TH (+) cells in the substantia nigra compacta and ventral tegmental area. Representative micrographs of TH (+) immunoreactivity (a). Bar graphs of the quantification of TH (+) neurons in the substantia nigra (b) and ventral tegmental area (c). The values are means ± SEM. n = 7 (8 sections per rat). , , ; ns, no significant difference. n = 7. One-way ANOVA followed by Tukey post hoc test.
