For the in vivo PD model induced by 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1, 2, 3, 6-tetrahydro-pyridine (MPTP), the motor function of mice was assessed by behavioral tests, the level of TH was examined by western-blot and immunostaining, the expression of key molecules related with ER stress was measured by western-blot. This evidence concerns the gene TH and Parkinson disease.
