Figure 6 Confocal micrographs of interstitial cells of Cajal.
Interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs) were labelled with c-kit (green) and DAPI (blue). ICCs were abundant in the control group (A). Few ICCs were observed in the DM group (B). Similar changes in ICCs were found in the SGES (diabetic with sham GES) group (C). However, numerous ICCs were observed in the DM (diabetic group) + GES1 (GES parameter 1) group (D), DM + GES2 group (E) and DM + GES3 group (F). Scale bars = 100 μm. GES: Gastric electrical stimulation.
