Tamoxifen Promotes Axonal Preservation and Gait Locomotion Recovery after Spinal Cord Injury in Cats

Figure 6

Number of counted neurons at the studied sites, graphs ordinates exhibited the number of FOX-3/DAPI positive cells and abscise different groups: intact, injured with tamoxifen, and injured without tamoxifen cats. Number of neurons 200 μm rostral from the injury site: (a) dorsal horn, (b) periaqueductal zone, and (c) ventral horn. Number of neurons in the injury site: (d) dorsal horn, (e) periaqueductal zone, and (f) ventral horn. Number of neurons counted 200 μm caudal from the injury: (g) dorsal horn, (h) periaqueductal zone, and (i) ventral horn; , . Schematic diagram illustrates rostral, injury site and caudal zones. The black horizontal line over bars indicates a statistically significant difference between referred groups.
