Figure 2.
Time course of spinal cord injury (SCI)-induced mechanical allodynia and thermal hyperalgesia in wild type (WT) and sigma-1 receptor (σ1R) knockout (KO) mice. Each point and vertical line represents the mean ± standard error of the mean (n = 9–12 per group). a–c: groups not sharing a letter are significantly different, p < 0.05. (A) Mechanical allodynia and (B) thermal hyperalgesia was clearly evidenced on all measurement days in SCI WT mice. The hypersensitivity was attenuated in homozygous σ1R KO mice on days 7, 14 and 28 after SCI.
