Figure 4From: NG2 cells response to axonal alteration in the spinal cord white matter in mice with genetic disruption of neurofilament light subunit expressionFrequency distribution of myelinated axons according to their diameters. Diameters of all myelinated axons were measured in the region containing the corticospinal tract at the lumbar segments of 2- and 6-month-old NFL-/- (N = 3 animals per age group) and control animals (N = 3 animals per age group). Data is presented based on diameters of all axons. Note the marked shift in distribution of axonal diameters towards smaller fibres. (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01).Back to article page
