A morphometric study on the longitudinal and lateral symmetry of the sural nerve in mature and aging female rats

Abstract Aging affects peripheral nerve function and regeneration in experimental models but few literature reports deal with animals aged more than one year. We investigated morphological and morphometric aspects of the sural nerve in aging rats. Female Wistar rats 360, 640 and 720 days old were ki...
