Effects of mitochondrial transplantation on Drp1 expression in the injured spinal cord of rats with traumatic SCI on PID 1. (A) Representative micrograph of Western blot analysis of Drp1 in sham control groups. (B) Corresponding quantitative results of relative expression of Drp1 in sham control groups. (C) Representative micrograph of Western blot analysis of Drp1 in SCI groups on PID 1. (D) Corresponding quantitative results of relative expression of Drp1 in SCI groups on PID 1. The 1-cm spinal cord specimens centered at the epicenter of the injured site were used in Western blots. Data were expressed as mean ± standard deviation. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, two-tailed Student’s t-test. N = 5. MT, mitochondria transplantation.
