Fig. 2From: Vitamin D protects dopaminergic neurons against neuroinflammation and oxidative stress in hemiparkinsonian ratsThe pre- and post-treatments with vitamin D (VD3, 1 μg/kg, p.o.) reversed DA and DOPAC decreases, demonstrated in the striatal lesioned side of the non-treated 6-OHDA group. DA: a vs. SO, q = 10.16, p < 0.001; b vs. 6-OHDA+VD3 (pre), q = 10.45, p < 0.001; c vs. 6-OHDA+VD3 (post), q = 8.166, p < 0.001. DOPAC: a vs. SO, q = 7.290, p < 0.001; b vs. 6-OHDA+VD3 (pre), q = 5.40, p < 0.01; c vs. 6-OHDA+VD3 (post), q = 8.072, p < 0.001 (one-way ANOVA and Tukey as the post hoc test)Back to article page
