Figure 6

Magnitude and Distribution of Fos in NGF-treated rats. Histogram (A) showing the segmental distribution of Fos-immunoreactive (IR) cells/section (s) in the rat spinal cord (L5-S1) after intravesical saline distention in saline or NGF-treated rats. *, p ≤ 0.005. Histogram (B) showing the distribution of Fos-IR cells in four regions of the L6 spinal cord after intravesical saline distention in saline or NGF-treated rats. Values represent the percentage of the total population of Fos-IR cells induced in each experimental paradigm. The four regions analyzed include: SPN, sacral parasympathetic nucleus; DCM, dorsal commissure; MDH, medial dorsal horn; LDH, lateral dorsal horn. #, p ≤ 0.01; *, p ≤ 0.005. 'n' = 6 for the saline and NGF groups.
