Immunohistochemical labeling of microglia in the spinal dorsal horn. a Iba1-immunoreactive microglial cells on the side ipsilateral to the cast immobilization at spinal segment L3 in the CTR group. b Those in the IM group. Scale bars in the insets = 20 µm. c Number of microglial cells in laminae I–II, III–IV, and V–VI on the side ipsilateral to the immobilization at segments L3 and L4. d Cell diameters of the same cells counted. The numbers and diameters were compared between the CTR (n = 6) and the IM groups (n = 7) using Mann–Whitney U test
