The Roads to Mitochondrial Dysfunction in a Rat Model of Posttraumatic Syringomyelia

Figure 3

Quantification of adenine nucleotide at C8 level of the spinal cord of intact control, laminectomy and syrinx groups at 1 h, 24 h, and 6 weeks after injury. Data expressed as mean ± SE from 4–21 separate experiments. (a) ATP concentration. , versus laminectomy and syrinx animals at the same time point. ^†, versus corresponding groups at 1 h and 6 weeks. ^‡, versus intact and laminectomy at the same time point. (b) ADP concentration. , versus laminectomy and syrinx animals at the same time point. ^†, versus laminectomy at the same time point, and syrinx animals at 1 h and 6 weeks after injury. ^‡, versus intact, laminectomy at 1 and 24 h. , versus intact and laminectomy at the same time point and syrinx group at 24 h. (c) AMP concentration. , versus intact and syrinx at the same time point. ^†, versus intact and laminectomy at the same time point. ^‡, versus intact, laminectomy at the same time point, and syrinx at 1 h.
