Neurochemistry of NOP-expressing trigeminal neurons.
Neuronal Marker | % of neurons co-expressing NOP receptors | Total number of neurons counted |
---|---|---|
CGRP+ NF200− | 33.1±1.9 | 279 |
CGRP+ NF200+ | 5.0±0.7 | 523 |
nNOS+ CGRP+ | 28.0±7.5 | 216 |
IB4+ | 10.8±4.1 | 860 |
NF200+ | 85.4±2.5 | 2347 |
Percentage of NOP receptor-expressing neurons is calculated as (%=[Number of NOP-eGFP positive neurons that coexpress the marker / Total number of neurons expressing the cellular marker] × 100). Data are represented as mean ± SEM (n=4 mice).
