Fig. 9. POMC and MOR are downregulated in the PNS of diabetic patients.
a Typical examples and quantitative analysis showing expression of: b POMC and c MOR proteins in Tuj-1+ sciatic nerve sections of human subjects, stained using specific antibodies (non-diabetic healthy control, n = 11; type-1 diabetic patients, n = 4 subjects and type-2 diabetic, n = 11). For panels (b) and (c), data represent dot plot with median; 5–7 sections from each subject; one-way ANOVA followed by Dunnett’s post-hoc test; ***p < 0.0001 with 95% C.I. Each circle represents individual data point. Orange circle: non-diabetic, teal circle: type-1 diabetic and maroon circle: type-2 diabetic patient data. Scale = 50 μm.
