Fig 1: TH and DDC expression in response to MGO. TH (a) (n = 4) and DDC (c) (n = 4) mRNA expression were measured by real‐time PCR in differentiated SH‐SY5Y cells treated or not with 400 μM MGO for 48 h. The results are shown as the mean ± SD of at least three independent experiments. TH (b) (n = 4) and DDC (d) (n = 4) protein levels were measured by Western blot using Vinculin as loading control. A representative blot and the densitometric analysis are shown.
