POAE and POEE reduced the density of nerve fibers in the dorsal skin. (A) Representative photographs of H&E staining of the dorsal skin of each group of mice (Scale bar: 200 μm). The black arrow indicates the epidermal layer of the skin. (B) Thickness of the epidermal layer of the dorsal skin of each group of mice (n = 3 per group). (C) Immunofluorescence staining of representative dorsal skin nerve fibers from each group of mice (Scale bar: 50 μm). The nuclei showed blue fluorescence after DAPI staining, and PGP9.5 showed red fluorescence under the labeling of fluorescent secondary antibody. (D) The ratio of PGP9.5/DAPI fluorescence area in each group of mice (n = 4 per group). The data were expressed as mean ± SD. ###P < 0.001, vs. control groups; **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, vs. DNCB (model) groups.
