From: The role of C-afferents in mediating neurogenic vasodilatation in plantar skin after acute sciatic nerve injury in rats

Fig. 4

The foot did not exhibit vasodilatation 14 d post-deafferentation or after an additional surgery for transection of the ipsilateral sciatic nerve. a Experimental schedule. b Representative perfusion images of the hind feet promptly and 14 days after selective resection of L3–L6 dorsal root ganglia (DRGs) of the left side, and after transection of the left sciatic nerve. Arrows indicate the side ipsilateral to surgeries. c Bar chart with paired scattered dots showing the change of blood perfusion in the foot in the same rats. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM (n = 6 rats) and analyzed with repeated measures (mixed model) ANOVA followed by Bonferroni’s multiple comparison test. n.s. non-significant
