Effects of Epigallocatechin Gallate on Tissue Lipid Peroxide Levels in Traumatized Spinal Cord of Rat

Objective(s) Recent studies revealed the neuroprotective effects of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) on a variety of neural injury .The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of EGCG on the tissue lipid peroxidation after spinal cord injury (SCI). Materials and Methods Rats were randomly divided into four groups of 7 rats each as follows: sham-operated group, trauma group, and EGC...

Tissue calcium levels following spinal cord transection in rats.

Adult rats were subjected to midthoracic spinal cord transections. Three segments of spinal cord, each approximately 5 mm in length, were removed from each animal at intervals from 5 min to 48 h postlesion; one from the lesion site and one each immediately rostral and caudal to the transection. Total tissue calcium concentrations ([Ca]t) for each spinal cord segment were determined using atomic...

Spinal cord transection in the larval zebrafish.

Mammals fail in sensory and motor recovery following spinal cord injury due to lack of axonal regrowth below the level of injury as well as an inability to reinitiate spinal neurogenesis. However, some anamniotes including the zebrafish Danio rerio exhibit both sensory and functional recovery even after complete transection of the spinal cord. The adult zebrafish is an established model organis...
