Figure 3. Comparison of the percentages of neurones with different CVs and sensory properties that show Nav1.7-LI.

Figure 3

Graphs show the percentages of nociceptive (A) and LTM (B) units in the different CV ranges, and in nociceptive and LTM (low threshold mechanoreceptive) units in all CV groups together (C) that showed clear Nav1.7-LI (≥ 20 % relative intensity). It can be seen in A and B that these percentages were lower in groups with higher mean CVs. C, the percentage of nociceptive units that was positive was significantly greater than the percentage of LTM units that was positive (χ2 test, 2 × 2 contingency table). The number of units is shown above each column. NOCI, nociceptive, all conduction velocities; C UNR, C-fibre unresponsive units.
