Myenteric Plexus Cell Density.

Myenteric plexus neuron and glial cell density and ratios in 2 and 7-week-old Tfam-ENSKO and control mice. n = 3 for each genotype for all analyses of 7 week old mice. For 2 week old mice, n = 6 (Ctrl) or 4 (Tfam-ENSKO) for total neuron density, glial density, and neuron to glia ratio and n = 3 for NADPH-d+ neuron density. N/A, not applicable; due to small size of tissue samples at 2 weeks of age, staining for both HuC/HuD+ (total) and NADPH-d+ (nitrergic) could not be performed on a single animal and therefore statistical analysis of the proportion of total neurons that are NADPH-d+ was not possible. PSI: proximal small intestine, DSI: distal small intestine, Co: colon.
