Figure 7

The number of pERK-positive cells in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) is increased after cast removal. (A, B) pERK immunoreactivity in L4 DRG of the intact group (A) and 1 day after cast removal (B). (C) Double staining of pERK and SP. (D) The quantification of the total area of pERK immunoreactivity in both L4 DRGs. 1 d: 1 day after cast removal. Values are the mean ± SEM. *p < 0.05 as compared with the intact group (unpaired t-test).
