Effects of oxATP on the immunoreactivity of GS, CGRP, or SP in SCG. The results show that the intensity of immunostaining for GS (a), CGRP (b), and SP (c) in SCG was higher in MI group (n = 8) than that in sham group (n = 8), con+oxATP group (n = 8), and MI+oxATP group (n = 8; p < 0.05). No difference was found for these proteins among sham group, con+oxATP group, and MI+oxATP group (p > 0.05). Arrows indicate the immunostained neurons. Scale bars, 20 μm. The bar graphs (d) show the statistical analysis of immunoreactivity for GS, CGRP, or SP
