Table 1 Comparison of fungiform and circumvallate taste buds in TRPM5-GFP mice.
From: Amiloride-sensitive channels in type I fungiform taste cells in mouse
|  | Bud diameter (μm) | Section thickness (μm) | Number of GFP cells | Number of PLCβ2 cells | Number of SNAP25 cells |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Fungiform taste buds | 40.1 ± 4.2 (n = 18) | 12.8 ± 5.6 (n = 40) | 2.8 ± 1.3 (n = 40) | 4.2 ± 1.9 (n = 20) | 1.6 ± 1.1 (n = 20) |
Circumvallate taste buds | 43.3 ± 7.4 (n = 29) | 14.2 ± 6.0 (n = 38) | 7.5 ± 2.7 (n = 42) | 6.0 ± 1.9 (n = 20) | 4.4 ± 1.8 (n = 22) |
