From: Delayed inflammatory mRNA and protein expression after spinal cord injury
The effect of DPI on lesion volume after spinal cord injury. Lesion volume in vehicle and DPI-treated injured spinal cords was measured at 28 days post-injury using T2-weighted MRI and histology. Representative MRI images of the lesion (hyperintense region, arrow) are shown for vehicle (A) and DPI-treated (B) spinal cords (outlined with dotted line). Representative cresyl violet images are shown for vehicle (D) and DPI-treated (E) spinal cords as well. Quantitation of MRI (C) and histology (F) based measurements are shown. Bar size = 0.25 cm (A, B); 200 μm (D, E). Bars represent mean +/- SEM. *p < 0.05. N = 3/group.
