From: Apelin alleviated neuroinflammation and promoted endogenous neural stem cell proliferation and differentiation after spinal cord injury in rats

Fig. 1

Expression of Apelin decreased after spinal cord injury (SCI). A Spinal cord sections obtained from healthy uninjured rats (control) and SCI rats on days 1, 3, 7, 14 and 28 after SCI; Apelin protein levels were normalized to that of GAPDH after western blotting. B Gene expression of Apelin was quantified in total RNA isolated from spinal cord tissue using qRT-PCR with specific primers; GAPDH was used as a loading control for qRT-PCR. C Serum Apelin was assayed by ELISA after SCI. (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 vs. Sham group, #p < 0.05 14 d vs. 28 d, mean ± SD)
