Figure 3From: Expression of 5-HT3 receptors and TTX resistant sodium channels (NaV1.8) on muscle nerve fibers in pain-free humans and patients with chronic myofascial temporomandibular disordersA comparison showing the different mean frequencies for antibody labelling on PGP 9.5 immunoreactive fibers (5-HT 3A ; both 5-HT 3A and Na V 1.8) in the masseter and tibialis tissues. There were no significant differences in the frequency of fibers that expressed 5-HT3A or both 5-HT3A and NaV1.8, when the two muscles were compared (P > .05, Students t-test). Each bar represents the average from all the sections obtained from each muscle type. The error bars depict standard error of the mean.Back to article page
