Fig. 3. Expression of neurotrophin-3 (NT-3) in injured and treated spinal cord in the rat. The NT-3 expression in both CytohUCB and CytoCon groups increased 1 week after SCI relative to SCI 3 days after SCI, but in the CytoCon group the level decreased from 2 weeks after SCI until 4 weeks after SCI. However, the CytohUCB group showed consistent levels from 1 week to 4 weeks after SCI, and there was a significant difference between the CytohUCB group and CytoCon group at 2 weeks after SCI (p < 0.05). The results are presented as the mean ± SEM. *p < 0.05.
