Mild TBI induced gene expression of satellite glial markers in the TG. a Fold change (qPCR) in gene expression of satellite glial markers (Gfap, Gja1 and Slc1a2) in the TG of mTBI mice. Bar graphs show mRNA expression on day 1 and day 8 after the last mTBI. Data (n = 5–6/group) in the bar graph are represented as mean ± standard error. *, p < 0.05, **, p < 0.01. b Localization of mRNA expression of Kcnj10 (green), Gfap (red) and Slc1a2 (magenta) in the TG of sham and mTBI mice obtained at 7 days post injury. Scale bar = 50 µm
