Basso-Beattie-Bresnahan (BBB) locomotor score for rats in the sham control (Sham), hemisection (Hemi) and hemisection with minocycline injection (Hemi+Mino) groups. After hemisection of the spinal cord, BBB score was more markedly decreased on the ipsilateral side (Ipsi) than the contralateral side (Contra), and gradually recovered until 28 days after surgery. Administration of minocycline attenuated the decrease in BBB score that was induced by hemisection. ^*p<0.05 vs. sham control group, ^†p<0.05 vs. hemisection group
