(J-K) Sirt5 KO mice are more sensitive to Paraquat-induced nigrostriatal dopaminergic degeneration. Female Sirt5 KO and WT littermates were treated with paraquat as in (G-I). The brain sections were stained to detect tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) positive dopaminergic neurons in the SNc region, as described in 'Materials and Methods'. Representative immunohistochemistry images (original magnification, 100×; scale bar, 100 μm) and the corresponding quantifications are shown in (J) and (K), respectively. The results are average ± SD. *p<0.05, n.s.: not significant (two-tailed unpaired t-test).
