Effect of Oleuropein on Tissue Myeloperoxidase Activity in Experimental Spinal Cord Trauma

Background: Neutrophil infiltration plays an important role in inflammatory reactions following spinal cord injury (SCI) and these cells cause substantial secondary tissue damage. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of oleuropein (OE) on myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity as an index of neutrophil infiltration. Methods: Rats were randomly divided into four groups of 7 rats each as...

Anti-Inflammatory Effect of Oleuropein in Experimental Rat Spinal Cord Trauma

BACKGROUND Spinal cord injury stimulates an inflammatory reaction that causes substantial secondary damage inside the injured spinal tissue. The purpose of this study was to determine the anti-inflammatory effect of oleuropein on traumatized spinal cord. METHODS Rats were randomly divided into four groups of 7 rats each as follows: Sham-operated group, trauma group, and oleuropein treatment g...

Effect of Aspirin on Spinal Cord Injury: An Experimental Study

Aspirin is an anti-inflammatory drug, peroxyl radical scavenger, and antioxidant agent that inhibits phospholipases, nitric oxide synthetases, and cyclooxygenase enzymes. The existing literature contains no studies on the effects of various doses of aspirin on spinal cord injury (SCI). Therefore, we sought to investigate the putative effects of aspirin on experimental SCI.The weight-drop injury...

Effects of magnesium sulfate on spinal cord tissue lactate and malondialdehyde levels after spinal cord trauma.

OBJECTIVE In the present study, the effects of magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) on tissue lactate and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels after spinal cord trauma (SCT) in rabbits were studied. SUBJECTS Thirty New Zeland rabbits. Interventions. The rabbits were divided equally into three groups: group I was the sham- operated group, group II suffered from SCT but received no treatment, group III was given ...
