Neural Mobilization Treatment Decreases Glial Cells and Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor Expression in the Central Nervous System in Rats with Neuropathic Pain Induced by CCI in Rats

Figure 3

Densitometric analyses of BDNF protein levels in thalamus (a), midbrain (b), and immunohistochemistry locating VPL and PAG with BDNF immunoreactivity (c). The normalized averages of the naive and experimental groups (CCI) are reported. The means for the naive animals were taken as 100%. The data are reported as means ± SEM of 5 animals per group. compared to the naive group.
