Figure 5 Graphical representation of the mean of area (A) and “minimal Feret’s diameter” (B) of control, regenerated tibialis anterior muscle fibers at week-20 after neurotmesis (Graft) and neurotmesis with the proximal and distal nerve stumps sutured to a polyvinyl alcohol (polyvinyl alcohol) tube and polyvinyl alcohol coated tubes (polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl alcohol polypyrrole and polyvinyl alcohol carbon nanotubes). Values are presented as mean ± SEM. aP < 0.05 vs Graft; cP < 0.05 vs Graft PVA CNTs MSCs; eP < 0.05 vs Graft PVA; gP < 0.05 vs Graft PVA PPy; iP < 0.05 vs Graft PVA CNTs. PVA: Polyvinyl alcohol; CNTs: Carbon nanotubes; PPy: Polypyrrole; MSCs: Mesenchymal stem cells.
