Figure 1. (Color online) Effects of capsanthin on tyrosine hydroxylase, dopamine transporter, dopamine receptor D1, and dopamine receptor D2 expression. a DAPI (blue), TH (green), and DAT (red) expression in the cerebral cortical neuron. b DAPI (blue), D2DR (green), and D1DR (red) expression in the cerebral cortical neuron. c The bar graph indicates the percentage of VEH in TH expression induced by CAP treatment. d–f These bar graphs are similar to graph (c); however, they indicate D2DR (d), DAT (e), and D1DR (f) expression. Protein expression was analyzed using one-way ANOVAs with Tukey’s post-hoc test. Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05
