MATERIAL AND METHODS Twenty-four rats were used in this trial. The rats were divided into 3 groups. In the first group of rats, spinal cord injury was created by the weight drop method a...
متن کاملThe Neuroprotective Effect of Treatment of Valproic Acid in Acute Spinal Cord Injury
OBJECTIVE Valproic acid (VPA), as known as histone deacetylase inhibitor, has neuroprotective effects. This study investigated the histological changes and functional recovery from spinal cord injury (SCI) associated with VPA treatment in a rat model. METHODS Locomotor function was assessed according to the Basso-Beattie-Bresnahan scale for 2 weeks in rats after receiving twice daily intraper...

متن کاملAcute Leptin Treatment Enhances Functional Recovery after Spinal Cord Injury
BACKGROUND Spinal cord injury is a major cause of long-term disability and has no current clinically accepted treatment. Leptin, an adipocyte-derived hormone, is best known as a regulator of food intake and energy expenditure. Interestingly, several studies have demonstrated that leptin has significant effects on proliferation and cell survival in different neuropathologies. Here, we sought to ...
متن کاملNeuroprotective effect of atorvastatin in spinal cord ischemia-reperfusion injury
OBJECTIVES Prevention of the development of paraplegia during the repair of the damage caused by descending thoracic and thoracoabdominal aneurysms remains an important issue. Therefore, we investigated the protective effect of atorvastatin on ischemia-induced spinal cord injury in a rabbit model. METHOD Thirty-two rabbits were divided into the following four equally sized groups: group I (co...
