Morphological analysis of sciatic nerves between iPLA2β+/+ and iPLA2β−/− mice
| Density of myelinated fibers (per mm2) | Total area of nerve fascicles (mm2) | Number of myelinated fibers (density × area) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| +/+ (n = 4) | 20156 ± 4007 | 0.189 ± 0.037 | 3735 ± 554 |
| −/− (n = 7) | 22922 ± 1695 | 0.136 ± 0.117 | 3115 ± 234 |
| (p < 0.05) | (p < 0.05) |
The number of myelinated fibers per unit area was counted in sciatic nerves. Mice aged 95–103 weeks old were examined. p values were calculated using the Student's t test.
