PNE impact on transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 1 (TRPV1) expression in neurons of the nodose/jugular (N/J) ganglia. A: TRPV1 mRNA in the nodose ganglia detected by real-time PCR is significantly higher in PNE than Ctrl pups; n = 7 for each group; mean ± SE; *P < 0.05 compared with Ctrl. B: TRPV1 protein (100 kDa) was detected by Western blot in Ctrl and PNE samples from the pups' N/J ganglia with an equal amount of protein homogenates. GAPDH (37 kDa) functioned as a loading control.
