Stereological analysis of nerve fibres in mice after 1 and 4 weeks sham/TAC

Sham 1-week TAC 4-weeks TAC
L(nf, lv) (m) 45.52 (17.68) 21.20 (12.55)* 15.34 (4.63)*
L(ax) (m) 81.0 (29.2) 27.0 (15.8)* 17.3 (4.6)*
QQ(ax/nf) 1.78 (0.16) 1.28 (0.03)* 1.15 (0.14)*

ax, axon; L, length; lv, left ventricle; nf, nerve fibre; QQ(ax/nf), number of axon profiles per nerve fibre profile; TAC, transverse aortic constriction.

Data are presented as mean (SD).
