Sulfonic acid and HRP flux in PD in patients with and without enteric Lewy pathology. Representative photomicrograph depicting multiple Lewy neurites in a whole-mount of submucosa immunoreactive for PGP9.5 (A) that was also positive for phosphorylated alpha-synuclein (B and C) Scale bar: 200 μm. (D) The values of sulfonic acid flux was not different between PD patients with (PS+) or without (PS-) phospho-synuclein immunoreactive neurites (p = 0.93). (E) The values of HRP flux was not different between PD patients with (PS+) or without (PS-) phospho-synuclein immunoreactive neurites (p = 0.46).
