Figure 1

Effects of the unilateral crush or transection of facial nerve on FGF-2 immunoreactive data. Ratio number of fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2) immunoreactive glial (A) and neuronal (B) profiles, of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) immunoreactive astrocytic profiles (C), neurofilament plus cresyl violet immunoreactive neuronal profiles (D) of the facial nucleus of the rats. The vertical axis represents the ratio of the number of immunoreactive profiles in the ipsilateral versus contralateral nucleus. Animals were studied 7 days after injury (means ± S.E.M., n = 6). *p < 0.05 according to the non-parametric Mann-Whitney U test.
