a Protein expression of Cx43 in sciatic nerve; b expression of BDNF protein in sciatic nerve; c protein expression of Cx43 in DRG; d expression of BDNF protein in DRG. All experiments compare rats 12 days after CCI to Sham. Data show a marked upregulation of Cx43 and BDNF protein levels in nerve and DRG following CCI. Mean ± SD, *p < 0.05 vs. Sham, ***p < 0.001 vs. Sham.
