Role of Estrogens in the Size of Neuronal Somata of Paravaginal Ganglia in Ovariectomized Rabbits

Figure 5

Expression of GDNF and GFRα1 in neurons and satellite glial cells (SGCs) of the paravaginal ganglia. Representative photomicrographs showing the GDNF (a–c) and anti-GFRα1 (d–f) in the paravaginal ganglia from the C (a, d), OVX (b, e), and OVX + EB (c, f) groups ( per group). Inset, magnification of fields indicated by dashed squares. SGC, satellite glial cell; SGCn, satellite glial cell nucleus. Bar, 20 µm.
