	Day 7 vehicle	Day 7 paclitaxel	Day 27 vehicle	Day 27 paclitaxel	Day 160 vehicle	Day 160 paclitaxel
Cross-sectional nerve area (μm²)	37,958 ± 3277	33,236 ± 2055	35,219 ± 3128	38,496 ± 2264	46,695 ± 4453	44,089 ± 2544
Density of myelinated axons (no./μm²)	0.077 ± 0.052	0.025 ± 0.001	0.022 ± 0.001	0.019 ± 0.001	0.018 ± 0.001	0.018 ± 0.001
Density of C-fibres (no./μm²)	0.099 ± 0.006	0.092 ± 0.007	0.082 ± 0.006	0.074 ± 0.005	0.069 ± 0.010	0.072 ± 0.006

Values expressed as means ± SEM, n = 3 at each time point for nerve areas and myelinated axon density, n = 2 at each time point for C-fibre density.
