Figure 7

Effect of injury on σ1 receptor (σ1R) expression in satellite glial cells identified by glutamine synthase (GS) staining. (A) Intensity of σ1R was decreased in cytoplasmic areas of satellite glial cells in 5th lumbar (L5) DRGs after spinal nerve ligation. (B) Summary data for average intensity in satellite glial areas showed decrease of intensity of σ1R staining in GS-positive glial cells in SNL L5 dorsal root ganglia. Mean ± SEM; number in bars represents the section sample size; **p < 0.01.
