Peripheral Nerve Regeneration Following Crush Injury to Rat Peroneal Nerve by Aqueous Extract of Medicinal Mushroom Hericium erinaceus (Bull.: Fr) Pers. (Aphyllophoromycetideae)
Figure 4
Representative photomicrographs of longitudinally sectioned peroneal nerves distal to the injury site after 14 days of peroneal nerve crush injury and the pathologic scale used for depicting these extents of injury or axon loss. The green fluorescent strands represent individual axon fibers stained with anti-neurofilament 200. 10x magnification. (a) 0 = normal nerve of unoperated limb. (b) 1 = mild axonal damage of operated limb. (c) 2 = moderate axonal damage of operated limb. (d) 3 = severe axonal damage of operated limb.
