The number of branches and branch length in treated slices
| Untreated | Ch'ase | PI-PLC | endo N | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Average # of branches | 3.7 ± 0.5 (n = 51) | 4.5 ± 0.8 (n = 21) | 4.3 ± 1.0 (n = 26) | 6.5 ± 1.21-a (n = 22) |
| Branch tip length (μm) | 89.5 ± 7.7 (n = 233) | 48.5 ± 5.31-b (n = 113) | 61.4 ± 7.21-b (n = 146) | 45.4 ± 4.71-b (n = 163) |
| Arbor size (μm) | 144 ± 11 | 147 ± 30 | 156 ± 22 | 142 ± 19 |
| Total length (μm) | 1591 ± 59.5 | 1541 ± 83.1 | 1602 ± 88.5 | 1864 ± 143 |
↵F1-a Significant difference (p < 0.05, Mann–Whitney U test).
↵F1-b Significant difference (p < 0.001, Student t test). Arbor size is expressed as the horizontal extent of axonal branches. Total length is expressed as the total axon length including branches per unit length of the cortical plate perpendicular to the laminar structure. Data are presented as mean ± SEM.
