Figure 10 Cell body profile areas of neurons immunoreactive in neurons of the rat ileum myenteric plexus in the sham, 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid and brilliant blue G groups.
A: Neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS); B: Choline acetyltransferase (ChAT); C: HuC/D. The cell perikaryal profile areas (µm2) of 100 neurons from each animal were obtained in the sham (n = 5), 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS) (n = 5) and Brilliant blue G (BBG) groups (n = 5). A total of 500 cell profile areas were analyzed for each group. Data were compared using analysis of variance and Tukey’s test for multiple comparisons as appropriate. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. aP < 0.05, comparing the TNBS group and sham group; bP < 0.05, comparing the BBG group and TNBS group. The data are expressed as mean ± SE. nNOS: Neuronal nitric oxide synthase; ChAT: Choline acetyltransferase; TNBS: 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid; BBG: Brilliant blue G.
