Effect of Zonisamide (ZNS) on the number of ChAT-positive motor neurons in the anterior horn (AH) region. (A–C) Representative confocal images of the anterior horn (AH) region in the spinal cord at the C5-6 disc level of sham-operated rat and CSM rat with [ZNS( +)] or without [ZNS(-)] ZNS administration. Sections were immunostained with an antibody against choline acetyltransferase (ChAT, red). ChAT-positive cells are indicated by white arrowheads. Bar = 50 μm. (D) The number of ChAT-positive cells in the AH region in sham-operated, ZNS(-) and ZNS( +) rats. Mean and SD are indicated (n = 6 anterior horns of 3 rats for each group). * p < 0.05, and ** p < 0.01 by Kruskal–Wallis test followed by Dunn-Bonferroni HSD.
