Effects of musk ketone on nerve recovery after spinal cord injury
The present study aimed to determine the effects of musk ketone on nerve recovery in rats after spinal cord injury. A total of 105 SD female rats were used to establish the rat with dorsal spinal cord injury model (modified Allen’s method). The rats weighed from 200 to 250 g and were provided by the Experimental Animal Center of Chongqing Medical University. They were randomly divided into five treatment groups: saline (NS group), methylprednisolone (MP group), and musk ketone groups (MO1, MO2, and MO3 groups).
