Figure 4

Effect of exercise on spinal cord contused volume following SCI. Contused volume was revealed by negative TTC stains and calculated as 2 mm (thickness of the slice) × (sum of the contused area in all spinal cord slices [mm2] [20]. The contused volumes of five sections from each spinal cord were calculated and summed 7 days after injury or sham operation. Please see the legends of Figure 1 for the abbreviations. The TTC stains presented are representative of results from one EP− control, EP+ control, one EP− + SCI, one EP+ + SCI, one EP+ + siRNA-HSP 72 + SCI + one EP+ + siRNA-Vector + SCI (a) and Values represent mean ± SD of 8 rats per group (b). * p < 0.01 for C vs. A or B; + p < 0.05 for D vs. C; # p < 0.05 E vs. D; & p < 0.05 for F vs. E. Please see the legends of Figure 1 for the explanations of the abbreviations.
