From: Characterization of recovery, repair, and inflammatory processes following contusion spinal cord injury in old female rats: is age a limitation?

Figure 2

Morphometric tissue analysis revealed the critical importance of volume correction. Using direct comparisons, aged rats showed a significant increase in volume of injured tissue compared to their young counterparts (Student’s t test, *p< 0.05) (A). No age-associated differences were observed in the total lesion spread (B). Three-dimensional reconstructions of representative injured spinal cord segments (T6-T12) suggested increased length and cross-sectional area in aged animals compared to young (C).
