(A) Schematic of measurements taken for the circumvallate papillae (CV) and the fungiform papillae (FF) of Ace-K-exposed and control rats at PN218-270. (B) Mean number of taste papillae in the fungiform, Control n = 5; Ace-K n = 7. Symbols represent individual rats. (C–E) Mean CV length along the anterior to posterior axis, width, and trench depth. Symbols represent individual male rats. (F) Mean number of CV taste buds per section. Symbols represent individual male rats. (G–I) Mean CV taste bud height, width, and height to width ratio. Symbols represent individual male rats. * P ≤ 0.05. Statistical outcomes are presented in Table S4. Schematics were created with Biorender.
