Figure 3

Change in GFAP expression in TG after LNC. Time-course changes are shown in the cell size of somata of TG neurons encircled with GFAP-IR cells on day 3, 9, 15 and 21 after LNC and sham operation in V1/V2 branch regions (A and C) and V3 branch region (B and D). Size-frequency histogram illustrating distribution of sotama of TG neurons encircled with GFAP-IR cells in V1/V2 branch regions (A) and V3 branch region (B) on days 3, 9, 15 and 21 after LNC. Size-frequency histograms illustrating distribution of somata of TG neurons in V1/V2 branch regions (Aa) and V3 branch region (Ba) in naïve rats, respectively. *: p < 0.05, **: p < 0.01, ***: p < 0.001 (n = 5 in each group, Student's t-test, one-way ANOVA followed by Newman-keuls tests).
