Figure S2. Capsaicin protects from demyelination: electrophysiological testing in recovery phase and maximum of the disease. (A) In recovery phase of EAN (d 23 p.i.), motor nerve conduction velocity (MNCV) showed a higher nerve conduction velocity in the treated group (50 μg/d). At the maximum of disease, there was no difference between the groups. (B) At disease maximum (d16), the mean compound muscle action potential (CMAP) of the sciatic nerve is more than 50% reduced in control group as an indicator of axonal damage. (C) At disease maximum (d16) F-wave latency was significantly prolonged in control group whereas both treatment groups did not show a prolongation of F-waves. In recovery phase (d23), the group treated with 50 μg/d also showed normal F-wave latencies. (PDF 675 kb
