Figure Lengend Snippet: CFA induces mechanical hyperalgesia and alters spinal cord protein expression in rats. (a) Paw withdrawal thresholds (PWTs) of rats in each group on different days ( n = 6). (b) Western blot analysis of c-Jun, p-c-Jun, CCL2, and CCR2 in the spinal cord of vehicle-injected and CFA-injected rats on days −1, 1, 3, 5, 7, 10, and 14 after CFA injection. (c) Quantitative analysis of the relative expressions of c-Jun, p-c-Jun, CCL2, and CCR2 in the spinal cords of vehicle-injected and CFA-injected rats on days 1, 3, 7, and 14 after CFA injection ( n = 6). * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01 versus vehicle-injected group.
