Immunohistochemical detection of PGP 9.5-positive cells at the anastomosis in the rectum of LT with a cAMP-dependent protein kinase A (PKA) inhibitor, H89 (30 µM) + MOS (100 µM)-drinking water rat for 2 weeks after surgery (A). The average number of neurons observed at the anastomosis in the rectum at each of 2 levels of 3 rats in the MOS group (n = 6) and H89 + MOS group (n = 6) was each significantly larger than that in the DMSO group (n = 6) (*P < 0.05) for 2 weeks after surgery (B). There was no significant difference in the average number of neurons between the anastomosis in the MOS and H89 + MOS groups (B)
