Malondialdehyde (MDA), myeloperoxidase (MPO) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) levels in serum and spinal cord tissue after SCI in rats. A MDA in serum. B MPO in serum. C SOD in serum. D MDA in spinal cord. E MPO in spinal cord. F SOD in spinal cord. Animals were treated with (a) saline, (b) control MPS, (c) MP, (d) MP-NPs, (e) NEP1-40-MP-NPs, (f) blank NPs, or (g) sham-operated. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, and ***P < 0.001 vs. saline; #P < 0.05 vs. MP-NPs. Data are mean ± SD (n ≥ 3)
