Positive expression of Galectin-3 increases in nucleus pulposus cells of rats with IDD. (a) Immunohistochemistry was used to examine the Galectin-3 expression of rats in the sham, IDD, and NC groups (× 100). (b) The quantitation for a positive rate of Galectin-3 expression in the sham, IDD, and NC groups. *p < 0.05 versus the sham group. All data were presented as mean ± standard deviation, and comparisons among multiple groups were analyzed by one-way ANOVA, n = 20.
NC: negative control.
