Fig. 3.

Tissue sections were stained for bungarotoxin (BGT) for motor endplates, neurofilament (NFM) for axons, and growth-associated protein 43 (GAP43) for growth cones. Representative images of NMJs that are (a) innervated, (b) denervated, or being (c) reinnervated are shown. Quantifications of motor endplate density normalized to muscle area (d, e), innervated NMJ density normalized to muscle area (f, g), fraction of total motor endplates that are innervated (h, i), and fraction of total motor endplates that are being reinnervated (j, k) are shown for 2 wpi females. Error bars are ± SEM. n = 5–6 animals/condition. One-way ANOVA with Tukey post hoc *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01. Scale bar = 50 μm
