Activity of α motor neurons by c-Fos expression. (A–D) Immunofluorescence staining for c-Fos (green) and choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) (red). White arrows show co-positive cells. Scale bar = 50 μm. (E) Ratio of co-positive cells to all α motor neuron cells, comparing the vehicle group (white) and (R,S)-3,5-dihydroxyphenylglycine (DHPG) group (black). Data are represented as means ± S.E.M. sham-vehicle n (mice) = 5, sham-DHPG n = 4, SCI-vehicle; n = 6, SCI-DHPG n = 5. sham-vehicle N (α motor neurons) = 213, sham-DHPG N = 263, SCI-vehicle N = 340, SCI-DHPG N = 294. Shapiro–Wilk test, ANOVA, Tukey–Kramer (*p < 0.05).
