Figure 8. Unchanged gluteus maximus axonal branching bifurcations and neuromuscular junctions in E15.5 or E18.5 GAD67-deficient (−/−) mice.

Figure 8

Axonal branches (green) and acetylcholine receptor clusters (red) in the gluteus maximus muscle in E18.5 wild type (A, +/+) and GAD67-deficient (B, −/−) and E15.5 wild type (C) and GAD67-deficient (D) mice. (E) shows no differences in gluteus maximus nerve bifurcation number (mean ± SEM) in GAD67-deficient mice compared to wild type (n = 4 for E15.5, n = 6 for E18.5, P>0.05, unpaired t test). (F) shows no change in the number of gluteus maximus neuromuscular junction endplates (mean ± SEM) in the GAD67-deficient mice compared to wild type littermates (n = 4 for E15.5, n = 6 for E18.5, *P>0.05, unpaired t test). Scale Bar: A, B, C, D, 75 µm.
