Anxiolytics may promote locomotor function recovery in spinal cord injury patients
Recent findings in animal models of paraplegia suggest that specific nonbenzodiazepine anxiolytics may temporarily restore locomotor functions after spinal cord injury (SCI). Experiments using in vitro models have revealed, indeed, that selective serotonin receptor (5-HTR) ligands such as 5-HTR(1A) agonists, known as relatively safe anxiolytics, can acutely elicit episodes of rhythmic neuronal ...
متن کاملTreadmill exercise facilitates recovery of locomotor function through axonal regeneration following spinal cord injury in rats
Spinal cord injury (SCI) disrupts both axonal pathways and segmental spinal cord circuity, resulting in permanent neurological deficits. Physical exercise is known to increase the expression of neurotrophins for improving the injured spinal cord. In the present study, we investigated the effects of treadmill exercise on locomotor function in relation with brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF...
متن کاملTriptolide improves locomotor function after spinal cord injury (SCI) inrats
In this study a possible therapeutic effect of Triptolide (TPL) was explored on SCI rats. A dose of 5 mg/kg/ day was administered intraperitoneally and control groups were given PBS in the same amount at the same time interval in rats. A total of three main groups (n=20 each) were used and each group was divided in four sub-groups (n=5 each). Rats in all sub-groups were treated for a period of ...
متن کاملRe-expression of locomotor function after partial spinal cord injury.
After a complete spinal section, quadruped mammals (cats, rats, and mice) can generally regain hindlimb locomotion on a treadmill because the spinal cord below the lesion can express locomotion through a neural circuitry termed the central pattern generator (CPG). In this review, we propose that the spinal CPG also plays a crucial role in the locomotor recovery after incomplete spinal cord injury.
متن کاملArylsulfatase B Improves Locomotor Function after Mouse Spinal Cord Injury
Bacterial chondroitinase ABC (ChaseABC) has been used to remove the inhibitory chondroitin sulfate chains from chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans to improve regeneration after rodent spinal cord injury. We hypothesized that the mammalian enzyme arylsulfatase B (ARSB) would also enhance recovery after mouse spinal cord injury. Application of the mammalian enzyme would be an attractive alternative...
