Effect of EA on RTX-induced deletion of TRPV1-immunoreactive neurons in the DRG. A, Representative images showing TRPV1-immunoreactive neurons in the lumbar DRG of vehicle (a), RTX (b), RTX plus 2 Hz EA (c), RTX plus 15 Hz EA (d), RTX plus 100 Hz EA (e), and RTX plus sham EA (f) groups. Scale bar, 50 μm. B, Summary data show the number of TRPV1 immunoreactive neurons in different groups. Data are expressed as means ± SEM (n = 6 rats in each group). *P < 0.05, compared with the vehicle group; # P < 0.05, compared with the sham EA group.
