Thrombin induces nigral dopaminergic neurodegeneration in vivo by altering expression of death-related proteins

One week after intranigral injection of thrombin resulted in a dose-dependent loss of dopaminergic neurons (20–78%) in the rat substantia nigra (SN), as evidenced by tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) immunohistochemistry. This cell death was accompanied by localization of terminal deoxynucleotidyl transfera...
