Figure 10

Western blot analysis of Nav1.7 expression in the TG of control and pulp-exposed rats. The ERK in TG from the sham, pulpitis rats, and those given PD98059 (an ERK antagonist, 10.0 μM/L) in the same blot on postoperative day 14. Representative gel images and summary data show that representative gel images and summary data show no significant difference in Nav1.7 protein levels in pulpitis rats compared with the sham rats.
