Effect of cadmium, quercetin and their simultaneous treatment on the expression of tyrosine hydroxylase, dopamine transporter and vesicular monoamine transporter proteins in the corpus striatum of rats. Quantitative analysis revealed that simultaneous treatment with cadmium & quercetin protected cadmium-induced decrease in the expression of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), dopamine transporter (DAT) and vesicular monoamine transporter proteins (VMAT-2). Relative protein levels were quantified using Alpha Ease FC Stand Alone V.4.0 software after normalized with β-actin. The cropped gels are displayed for the clear representation. Values are expressed as mean ± SEM of three rats in each group; Significantly differs (**p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001); a-compared to control, b-compared to cadmium exposed group.
