Figure 3From: Neuromelanin, neurotransmitter status and brainstem location determine the differential vulnerability of catecholaminergic neurons to mitochondrial DNA deletionsDifferential vulnerability of SNc, VTA and LC neurons to deletions of mitochondrial DNA. Lowest levels were seen for noradrenergic neurons of the LC, followed by dopaminergic neurons of the VTA and the SNc. Differences were significant at p = 0.001 (***; Kruskal-Wallis-Test).Back to article page
