MP Resulting in Autophagic Cell Death of Microglia through Zinc Changes against Spinal Cord Injury

Figure 3

Effects of MP on zinc level. Spinal cords around lesions (a) and serum (b) from different time points (1 h, 6 h, 12 h, 18 h, 1 d, 3 d, 7 d, and 14 d) were used to measure the level of zinc by atomic absorption spectrometry; (c) expression of ZIP8 was detected by RT-PCR at 12 h and 18 h. Data were expressed as mean ± SEM ( for each group). , versus control group; , versus LPS group.
