Spinal nerve ligation (SNL) activates microglia in the ipsilateral spinal dorsal horn 17 days after surgery (A) Representative IBA1 immunoreactive sections (L5) from postpartum (PP) and control rats (virgin females) (top and bottom panel, respectively) visualized by avidin-biotin complex method (B) SNL but not Sham surgery increases IBA1 immunoreactivity in the ipsilateral spinal dorsal horn of postpartum and control rats (virgin females). Scale bar=100 μm. Data are presented as mean ± SD, n=7 in each group, Groups were analysis by Two way ANOVA, p (Surgery)<0.001, p (Group)<0.887, p (Surgery x Group)=0.466, Bonferroni’s Multiple Comparison Test, *p <0.05 compared to PP Sham or Control.
