Ethanol Extract of Chinese Propolis Facilitates Functional Recovery of Locomotor Activity after Spinal Cord Injury

Figure 1

EECP accelerated locomotor functional recovery after hemi-transection of the rat spinal cord. Changes in the locomotor function of the vehicle-treated ( ) and EECP-treated animals ( ) during the 3-week experimental period are shown. EECP-treated group (1 mg/kg, (b) 5 mg/kg, (c)) showed a significant behavioral improvement compared with the vehicle-treated group. However, a low dose of EECP (0.2 mg/kg, (a)) had no effect on the recovery of locomotor function after SCI. Significance of differences from vehicle-treated group was determined by using repeated measures of two-way ANOVA followed by the Bonferroni post-test. , , and versus vehicle-treated group.
