  1. Numbers of IENFs per mm length of epidermis that were positive for calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), substance P (SP), transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1), and β-tubulin in left (ipsilateral) paw pad skin are presented as mean ± standard deviation. There were no significant changes in counts of IENFs for these nerve fibre markers
