Table 3 Comparison of the mean cross-sectional area of the axon for both groups of chickens at 8 weeks after neonatal pinealectomy.

From: Stereological analysis of sciatic nerve in chickens following neonatal pinealectomy: an experimental study

Groups

CSA of the axon (μm2)*

Surgical pinealectomy group (n = 10)

21.483 ± 1.37

Unpinealectomized control group (n = 10)

17.523 ± 0.73

p value

0.02

  1. CSA cross-sectional area.
  2. * Data are presented as the means ± standard error of measurement (SEM).
  3. Surgical pinealectomy group had significantly larger CSA than the unpinealectomized control group (p < 0.05).
