From: Remodelling of the intracardiac ganglia in diabetic Goto-Kakizaki rats: an anatomical study
Assessment of the total number of intracardiac neurons. Correlation between the ganglion area and neuronal number is shown for the heart of GK (a) and control (b) rats. Note the strong correlation between the ganglion area and the neuronal number in both groups. Total neuronal number per heart (c) and neuronal numbers in both the heart hilum and the dorsal atrial region (d) are significantly decreased in GK rats compared to controls. **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001; R, correlation coefficient. x, ganglion area in mm2; y, number of ganglionic neurons inside ganglion.
