Results of nerve conduction velocity (NCV) study performed on the tail of control (CTRL) and bortezomib (BTZ)-treated rats: Experiment (Exp) 1, phase (A) 1 and (B) 2; Exp 2, phase (C) 1 and (D) 2; Exp 3, phase (E) 1 and (F) 2. BTZ induced a significant reduction in NCV in all BTZ-treated rats after 8 weeks of treatment and at the end of Exps 1, 2, and 3.a The analgesic compounds tested did not significantly counteract the effect of BTZ on NCV.
Notes:
aMean values plus or minus standard deviation; *Significantly different from CTRL (P < 0.001).
