Fig. 6: The HIP2 mRNA is increased in the blood of PD patients after Tai Chi training.

a Decreased UPDRS-motor scores in PD patients with 6 and 12 months of Tai Chi exercises. b The change of UPDRS-motor score of each patient. c Reversal of the HIP2 mRNA level in the blood of patients with Tai Chi exercises. d The change of HIP2 mRNA level in each patient. a–d Detailed demographic information was listed in Supplementary S4. e–i The consistency of the change of HIP2 level with the change of behaviors in clinical assessment in PD patients undergoing Tai Chi exercises. Data are analyzed by paired t-test and presented as mean ± SEM. *P < 0.05, ***P < 0.001
