Gabapentin administration following decompression inhibited the expression levels of Iba-1 and α2δ2 in the anterior horn of spinal cord. A The expression of Iba-1 was observed by immunofluorescence (scale = 20 μm). B The expression of α2δ2 was observed by immunofluorescence (scale = 20 μm). The mean gray values of Iba-1 and α2δ2 were analyzed by Image J software. Compared with the sham group, ^*P < 0.05, ^**P < 0.01; compared with the decompression + vehicle group, ^#P < 0.01, ^##P < 0.01
