NPY-saporin lesion selectively reduces Y1R-ir in the dorsal horn. Y1R, CGRP, NK1, or IB4 immunostaining in the dorsal horn of naïve rats 14 days after intrathecal injection of (A,D,G,J) blank saporin or (B,E,H,K) 1000 ng NPY-saporin. NPY-saporin decreased (C) Y1R but did not change immunostaining in the dorsal horn of (F) CGRP, (I) NK1-R or (L) IB4 as compared to blank-saporin controls. Values are expressed as integrated density of staining in dorsal horn. ★P < 0.05 compared to blank-saporin. Data represent mean ± SEM. Scale bars: 100 µm.
