From: Neuromelanin, neurotransmitter status and brainstem location determine the differential vulnerability of catecholaminergic neurons to mitochondrial DNA deletions

Figure 4

Levels of mitochondrial DNA deletions in nigral neurons of PD and controls. Pigmented neurons (TH+/NM+) of the SNc have considerably higher ΔmtDNA levels than non-pigmented neurons (TH+/NM-) in controls (C) and PD (*** p = 0.001). In nonpigmented neurons there was a trend to higher deletions in PD vs. controls (p = 0.052).
