Figure 4From: The role of TRPV1 in different subtypes of dorsal root ganglion neurons in rat chronic inflammatory nociception induced by complete Freund's adjuvantQuantification analysis of DRG neurons doubly stained with TRPV1 and neuronal markers. A, B and C show the percentage of TRPV1 positive neurons to NF200-, CGRP-, IB4-positive neurons, respectively. A, In control animals, rare double staining with NF200 was seen; after CFA injection, double staining of TRPV1 with NF200 significantly increased at days 1, 3, 7 and 14. B, Double staining of TRPV1 with CGRP significantly increased in CFA rats from day 1 to day 28. C, In control animals, double staining of TRPV1 with IB4 was ~50%, significantly increased from day 1 to day 14 after CFA injection. D, Area frequency distribution of TRPV1 and NF200 double stained neurons at day 3. After CFA injection, double staining neurons significantly increased in the medium-sized neurons with cell area of 600–1200 μm2. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001. n = 3.Back to article page
