Figure 5. Representative Western blots for GFAP, ED1 and OX42 expression in L4–L5 spinal cord segments.

Figure 5

Protein was prepared from healthy uninjured control rats (CONT) or rats subjected to L5 spinal cord injury in the absence (SCI) or presence of N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) or acetyl-L-carnitine (ALC) treatment. Histograms show the mean optical density (OD) for each band expressed relative to the corresponding β-actin levels for each sample, for a total of 4 animals per group. Error bars show S.E.M. P<0.05 is indicated by*, P<0.01 is indicated by**and P<0.001 is indicated by***(CONT vs. SCI, NAC, ALC for GFAP; SCI vs, CONT, NAC, ALC for ED1 and OX42).
