Preservation of CGRP, SP, NGF and TRPV1 in the DRGs and the spinal cord. Significant preservation of CGRP, SP, NGF and TRPV1 in the DRGs (A,C,E,G, respectively) and CGRP and NGF in the spinal cord (B,D,F, respectively), at the 5th lumber segment, was detected in the capsaicin treated diabetic animals. In the spinal cord, only CGRP was preserved in the non-diabetic animals treated with capsaicin. Control non-diabetic control group, Ctrl + Cap non-diabetic animals treated with capsaicin, Diabetic diabetic group, Db + Cap diabetic animals treated with capsaicin. *p < 0.05, compared to the control; **p < 0.01, compared to the control; #p < 0.05, compared to diabetic; ##p < 0.01, compared to diabetic.
