Treatment with XIB4035 preserves Remak bundle structure in line-D mice
C-fiber area† | C-fibers/Remak bundle‡ | |
WT +vehicle | 1.78 ± 0.10 mm2 | 9.90 ± 0.66 |
WT +XIB4035 | 1.81 ± 0.06 mm2 | 8.80 ± 0.52 |
Line-D +vehicle | 1.01 ± 0.07 mm2* | 4.71 ± 0.42* |
Line-D +XIB4035 | 1.64 ± 0.07 mm2 | 8.40 ± 0.83 |
Animals were treated with XIB4035 or vehicle from P21 to P49. Sciatic nerves were prepared for EM, and the cross-sectional area of individual unmyelinated axons and the number of axons pre-Remak bundles were quantified.
P < 0.001; ANOVA Newman–Keuls post hoc.
n = 3 animals per genotype; ≥50 axons per animal.
n = 3 animals per genotype; ≥16 bundles per animal.
