| Parameters | Control (Rabbit IgG, 1:6000) | Anti-p75 NGFR (1:6000) | NT3 (5 ng/ml) + Rabbit IgG (1:6000) | NT3 (5 ng/ml) + Anti-p75 NGFR (1:6000) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Diameter (μm) | 7.88 ± 0.22 | 6.80 ± 0.36a,b | 7.24 ± 0.26 | 6.64 ± 0.15a,b |
| Perimeter (μm) | 42.14 ± 0.83 | 35.20 ±1.6a,b | 42.92 ± 0.72 | 35.77 ± 0.68a,b |
