The Treadmill Exercise Protects against Dopaminergic Neuron Loss and Brain Oxidative Stress in Parkinsonian Rats

Figure 6

The treadmill exercise increases the immunoreactivity for enzyme tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) of the striatal lesioned side, in the 6-OHDA model of Parkinson’s disease in rats. (a) Panoramic images of TH immunostaining in striatal slices (×10 magnification), showing the left (unlesioned) and right (lesioned) sides. (b) Representative photomicrographs of TH immunostaining in striata (×400, scale = 200 μm). a versus SO (NO), , ; b versus SO (WITH), ; ; c versus SO (NO), , ; d versus 6-OHDA (NO), , (one-way ANOVA and Tukey as the post hoc test).
