Objectives: Paraplegia is deterioration in motor or sensory function of the lower limbs that can occur after modification of a thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm. The purpose of this survey was to determine the protective action of lutein on spinal cord ischemia-reperfusion (I-R) damage.
Materials And Methods: Thirty-five male rats were distributed into five groups: intact, sham, dimethyl sulfoxide (I-R+DMSO), low dose lutein (I-R+0.
Article Synopsis
- The study examines the protective effects of spinach extract against spinal ischemia/reperfusion injury, which can lead to paraplegia or paraparesis after thoraco-abdominal aorta surgery.
- Thirty-five male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into groups to assess neurological function and biochemical markers 72 hours post-ischemia.
- Results showed that rats treated with spinach extract had better motor function, higher antioxidative capacity, and preserved motor neurons compared to the normal saline control group.
