Estrogen reduced calpain expression and activity following acute SCI. (a) Representative Western blots using lesion and caudal penumbra spinal cord segments from sham and SCI rats treated with vehicle or estrogen (10 or 100 µg/kg). (b) Determination of OD of bands representing calpain activity in terms of 145 kDa specific spectrin breakdown products or SBDP. (c) Determination of OD of bands representing calpain expression. Data presented as percentage change in comparison with sham + vehicle set at 100% (n = 3–6). Sham + vehicle vs. injury + vehicle (*P < 0.05); and injury + vehicle vs. injury + estrogen (#P < 0.05)
