Zinc Regulates Glucose Metabolism of the Spinal Cord and Neurons and Promotes Functional Recovery after Spinal Cord Injury through the AMPK Signaling Pathway
Figure 5
Zinc enhanced glucose transport in the spinal cord of SCI mice. (a–c) The expression levels of GLUT3 and GLUT4 proteins were assessed by WB at 3 days after injury (). (d, e) Immunofluorescence staining of GLUT4 at 3 days after injury (, ). (f, g) Glucose uptake was established by PET imaging of the biodistributions of 18F-FDG at 3 days after injury (). Data are represented as the . , , and .
