TABLE 3.

Effect of NGF and vehicle treatment in vivo on expression of fast and slow Na+ current in axotomized cutaneous afferent DRG neurons

Axotomized + Slow Only Fast/Slow Combination Fast Only Total
Vehicle perfusion 0 6 10 16
NGF perfusion 3* 10* 6 19

Values are numbers of neurons. For abbreviations, see Table 2.

NGF (0.25 μg/μl) was deliverd directly to the transected sciatic nerve stump in vivo at 0.5 μl/h for 14 days. Delivery of vehicle solution served as a control.

*

P < 0.001 with respect to the occurrence of the slow Na+ current in 6 of 16 neurons after vehicle treatment as determined by χ2 formulation with 2 degrees of freedom.
