MRI of rat 8 weeks after treatment. The most-cranial disc was treated with 5 mg/mL simvastatin in hydrogel (normalized MRI index, 1.955), the middle disc is a normal control (1.0), and the most caudal disc was treated with 15 mg/mL simvastatin in hydrogel (0.144). Note the greater disc volume and signal intensity in the disc treated with 5 mg/mL simvastatin compared to the one treated with 15 mg/mL.
