Caspase-3 activity measured in spinal cord tissue at 24 (a) and 72 h (b) after surgery procedure. Sham/SS: animals with laminectomy only plus saline solution; Sham/MT: rats with laminectomy with MT (10 μg per rat) at 2 and 8 h after surgery; SCI/SS: spinal cord injury and treatment with saline solution; SCI/MT: spinal cord contusion and treatment with metallothionein at 2 and 8 h after damage. The results are expressed in arbitrary fluorescence units per mg of protein per 1 h and correspond to the average value ± SEM of 4 to 9 animals per group, ^∗different from the Sham/SS group (p < 0.05). One-way ANOVA followed by Tukey's test.
