Figure 4

Numbers of melanized neurons in different groups of substantia nigra specimens. Total numbers of melanized neurons were significantly decreased in PD vs. aged normal, young normal, and AD specimens, and in DLB vs. aged normal and AD specimens. Data (means ± SEM) are shown for slides from specimens in which iC3b immunoreactivity was assessed; essentially similar results were obtained for slides from specimens in which C9 staining was evaluated. (ap < 0.05 vs. PD; bp < 0.05 vs. DLB; abbreviations: AD, Alzheimer's disease; AN, aged normal; DLB, dementia with Lewy bodies; PD, Parkinson's disease; YN, young normal)
