FIG. 4.
Capsaicin-evoked FLI in Vc. A: photomicrographs of representative sections through Vc showing greater FLI in an animal with bilateral mental nerve CCI (left) compared to sham-operated control (right). B: graph plots mean counts of FLI/section for each treatment group. Error bars: SEM. There was an overall significant effect (ANOVA; F4,48 = 5.4, p<0.05) with the sham lingual group significantly greater compared to lingual (*; p<0.04, LSD) and mental CCI group significantly greater compared to mental Selzer or Sham mental groups ( #: p= 0.01 and 0.007, respectively). Counts of FLI in NTS did not differ significantly across groups (data not shown).
