Figure 5 raw data

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.

本数据集统计了C57BL/6J（野生型）、C3HeB（Toll样受体4（TLR4）野生型）及C3H（Toll样受体4（TLR4）突变型）实验动物在鼓索神经切断术（chorda tympani transection, CTx）后第3天，其孤束核（nucleus tractus solitarii, nTS）嘴侧中央（rostral central, RC）亚核内的小胶质细胞数量。每种基因型各选取3只实验动物进行分析。从每只动物的健侧（Intact, Int）与术侧（Transected, Tx）的多个嘴侧层面共采集6次小胶质细胞计数数据。细胞计数结果采用SPSS统计软件，通过适配的方差分析（ANOVAs）及Tukey事后检验进行统计分析。显著性阈值设定为p<0.05。
