Effect of GTP on histological alterations of the spinal cord tissues. (a) HE staining (200x) of the spinal cord tissues. In the normal group, the motoneuron nuclei were densely blue stained, while in the model group, the motoneuron nuclei were stained light blue. (b) In the model group, the number of motoneurons was dramatically decreased compared to the normal group (). In GTP group, the number of motoneurons was significantly increased compared to the model group (). The data are expressed as the mean ± SD, . and versus model group.
