Figure 7.

Mean data showing the baseline discharge of group III and IV afferents (A) and the responses of group III and IV afferents to static contraction induced by electrical stimulation of L5 ventral root (B) in Sham+Sed, Sham+ExT, CHF+Sed and CHF+ExT rats. Mean data showing the discharge of group III and IV afferents in response to two levels of passive stretch (C) and two doses of capsaicin (D) respectively in Sham+Sed, Sham+ExT, CHF+Sed and CHF+ExT rats. The digit in the bar graph indicates the number of recording fibers. Data are expressed as Mean ± SE. ^*P < 0.05 vs. sham + Sed, #P < 0.05 vs. CHF + Sed. [Reprinted from Wang et al. (2012).
