Growth-associated protein-43 is elevated in the injured rat sciatic nerve after low power laser irradiation

Growth-associated protein 43 immunoreact

Growth-associated protein 43 immunoreactivity in the superficial dorsal horn of the rat spinal cord is localized in atrophic C-fiber, and not in sprouted A-fiber, central terminals after peripheral nerve injury

Peripheral nerve injury induces the up-regulation in dorsal root ganglion cells of growth-associated protein 43 and its transport to the superficial laminae of the dorsal horn of the spinal cord, where it is located primarily in unmyelinated axons and growth-cone like structures. Peripheral nerve in
