[Retracted] Genistein Protects against Spinal Cord Injury in Mice by Inhibiting Neuroinflammation via TLR4-Mediated Microglial Polarization

Figure 2

Genistein reduced apoptosis in SCI mice. (a) 28 days after Genistein treatment, TUNEL staining was used to determine the apoptosis in the SCI area. (b and c) 28 days after genistein treatment, immunoblotting was used to detect the expression of Bax and Bcl2 protein in the SCI area, and the representative protein bands were showed in (b), and the gray value comparison of protein bands was shown in (c). (d) 28 days after genistein treatment, the activity of caspase 3 in the SCI area was determined using ELISA kit. Five mice in each group, and data were expressed as . value was calculated by post hoc comparisons. , , and vs. SCI group. ## and ### vs. sham group.
