The NI/Sham LPF ratio of two ACC proteins, KPCG (protein kinase C gamma, PKCγ) and CH60 (mitochondrial 60 kDa heat shock protein, HSP60) indicated a significant turnover rate change following peripheral nerve injury (Fig. 1d and Additional file 1: Table S1; Sham vs. Nerve injury, unpaired t-test, PKCγ, p < 0.01, HSP60, p < 0.05). This evidence concerns the gene HSPD1 and peripheral nerve injury.
