Figure 7.
Pylori of diabetic mice have a loss of nNOS expression without a loss of neurons. Myenteric neurons were quantified by counting the number of positive neurons per hpf. No change in expression of SYN, MAP2, or VIP was observed for either STZ-diabetic or NOD-diabetic mice. The data shown are the means (± SEM) of determinations from at least ten microscopic fields, with the experimenter blinded to the treatment condition of the animals from which the histological sections were derived.
