T2 and [23Na] in the rabbit discs. The rabbits are grouped as the normal and the disc-punctured rabbit. The discs are subdivided into the normal (from the intact normal rabbits), the internal-control and the degenerated discs (from the disc-punctured rabbits).
| T2 (ms) | [23Na] (mM) | |
|---|---|---|
| Discs of normal rabbits (N = 24) | 97.1 ± 12.1 | 274.8 ± 40.2 |
| Discs of disc-punctured rabbits (N = 28) | 89.0 ± 12.9 | 229.0 ± 36.7 |
| Internal control discs (N = 19) | 93.7 ± 11.9 | 247.2 ± 27.7 |
| Degenerated discs (N = 9) | 79.0 ± 9.1 | 190.6 ± 19.1 |
