Figure 3

CD31+ blood vessel density is significantly higher in cell body-rich areas (CBRA) as compared to nerve fiber-rich areas (NFRA) of the L4 dorsal root ganglia (DRG) and distal and proximal sciatic nerve of the C3H mouse. Regional differences in blood vessel density were determined by quantifying the CD31+ blood vessels/mm2 in 15 μm cut sections of the L4 DRG and attached nerve roots. Each bar of the histograms represents the mean +/- SEM of at least 4 mice and * indicates a difference of p < 0.05 vs CBRA of the L4 DRG.
