Figure 3

Effect of selenium (Se) treatment on [Ca2+]i concentration through block of TRPM2 gate in dorsal root ganglion neuron (DRGN) (a) and sciatic nerve (SciN) (b) of control and FM-induced rats. (n = 8 and mean ± SD). The animals received intraperitoneal Se for 2 weeks after FM induction. Then, these dissected neurons of control and FM groups were further in vitro treated with CumHPx (1 mM) and ACA (0.025 mM) before loading Fura-2 for 120 seconds. (a p ≤ 0.05 and b p ≤ 0.001 versus control. (c p ≤ 0.001 and d p ≤ 0.05 versus control + ACA and Se groups. e p ≤ 0.001 versus FM group (3c).
