Glutaminase Immunoreactivity and Enzyme Activity Is Increased in the Rat Dorsal Root Ganglion Following Peripheral Inflammation

<table>This figure represents the Western blot studies of glutaminase (GLS) within the L<sub>4</sub> DRG from AIA and control rats. (a) Western blot represents GLS immunoreaction (65 kDa) from the L<sub>4</sub> DRG of AIA and control rats. Note the increase of GLS immunoreaction within the AIA animals. (b) This graph represents the statistical analysis of the GLS immunoreactivity between AIA and control rats. A significant increase (*<svg height="11.375" id="M29" style="vertical-align:-0.1638pt" version="1.1" viewbox="0 0 58.712502 11.375" width="58.712502" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
