Figure 6

Striatal dopaminergic terminals are reduced after RF-EMF exposure. TH immunohistochemical analysis in substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc) (A,B) and striatum (C,D) in sham-exposed (A,C) and RF-EMF exposed (B,D) mice. TH immunoreactivities are markedly decreased in the SNpc and striatum in the RF-EMF-exposed group. Scale bar = 100 μm. (E) Relative optical density (ROD) as % for TH-immunoreactive structures in the striatum in the sham- and RF-EMF groups. Bars indicate mean ± SEM. Statistical significance was evaluated using two-tailed, unpaired Student’s t-test (**P < 0.01; vs. sham).
