Comparison of groups in terms of axon counting

	Treatment group—right	Treatment group—left	Control group—right	Control group—left
1 week	480.2 ± 27.4	460 ± 13	330.5 ± 19.6	213 ± 24
3 weeks	695.8 ± 41.5	303.33 ± 20.06	327.5 ± 21.7	202.5 ± 18.33
9 weeks	620.3 ± 20	360.30 ± 28	380.4 ± 12.1	320.6 ± 11
12 weeks	443.8 ± 35.9	362.4 ± 16.7	318.6 ± 14.06	249.6 ± 21.4

P values were P < 0.01 and P < 0.005, respectively, after comparison of right (transection) and left (defect) models among the groups after 12 weeks
