From: Restoring pars intermedia dopamine concentrations and tyrosine hydroxylase expression levels with pergolide: evidence from horses with pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction

Fig. 2

TH expression levels are re-established in the pars intermedia of PPID horses on a 6-month pergolide regimen. TH expression levels were determined in the pars intermedia of pituitary glands using western blot. Pituitary glands were collected from horse controls (young and old normal control horses), PPID untreated horses, and PPID afflicted horses that had received treatment with pergolide (DA agonist) at 2 µg/kg per os for 6 months. Columns represent mean TH concentrations normalized to β-actin + S.E.M. * The PPID-untreated value is significantly different from the young and old control groups as well as the PPID-treated group (p < 0.05)
