Number of microglia in the nTS three days post chorda tympani transection in C57BL6/J, C3HeB and C3H mice

The number of microglia in the rostral central (RC) subnucleus of the nTS at three days post chorda tympani transection (CTx) in C57BL6/J (wild-type), C3HeB (TLR4 wild-type) and C3H (TLR4 mutant) animals. Three animals from each genotype were analyzed. From each animal, six microglial counts were taken throughout the rostral levels on both intact (Int) and transected (Tx) sides. The cell counts were analyzed using SPSS software with appropriate ANOVAs and Tukey’s post-hoc analysis. Significance was defined as p<0.05.
