Timecourse of spinal astrocyte activation in MIA-treated rats. A: GFAP immunofluorescence, as a marker of astrocytes, was increased in the ipsilateral spinal cord of MIA-treated rats at day 28 post MIA treatment, compared to the contralateral spinal cord. B: Data are expressed as mean grey intensity of spinal GFAP immunofluorescence in ipsilateral and contralateral dorsal horn. Statistical comparison between GFAP immunofluorescence in ipsilateral versus contralateral spinal cord were performed using a two-way ANOVA with a Bonferroni post hoc test: **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001.
