Fig. 5From: The impact of dextran sodium sulphate and probiotic pre-treatment in a murine model of Parkinson’s diseaseStereological counts of TH+ neurons in the SNc ipsilateral to the intra-nigral LPS infusion. Clearly, the LPS infusion coupled with systemic paraquat (i.p. 10 mg/kg, six injections over 2 weeks) administration significantly reduced the number of viable TH+ neurons within the SNc. But no significant differences whatsoever were observed concerning the VSL#3 and DSS treatments. ***p < 0.001 compared to saline-treated animalsBack to article page
