Figure 3

3D surface plot of DAB staining intensity of myosin Va in WT and diabetic jejunum. Note that in vehicle treated rats (upper panels), staining spikes present in the muscle segments interposed between the ganglia and plexuses have dense distribution of myosin Va spikes in the nerve terminals, while these spikes within the muscularis are almost absent in diabetic tissues (lower panels). These nerve terminals are the sites of neuro-smooth muscle neurotransmission. Note the lighter hue of the staining spikes within the neuronal cell bodies, representative of reduction in myosin Va genomic expression within the neuronal soma in diabetic tissues in comparison to vehicle treated rats. Scale bar, 15 μm.
