A: distribution of the size of all DRG neurons recorded in sham-operated control and femoral artery occlusion. B: average size of recorded DRG cells responding to capsaicin. No difference was seen in the average size of recorded DRG cells in both experimental groups. C: percentage of the DRG neurons innervating muscle responsive to capsaicin. A larger percentage of the DRG neurons were seen in 24 h arterial occlusion than in control in response to capsaicin. *P < 0.05 compared with a sham-operated control group.
