Lavandula angustifolia Extract Improves the Result of Human Umbilical Mesenchymal Wharton’s Jelly Stem Cell Transplantation after Contusive Spinal Cord Injury in Wistar Rats

Figure 2

Stem cell therapy and administration of L. angustifolia improved locomotor and EMG impairment in the rat spinal cord contusion model. Intraperitoneal administration of L. angustifolia extract daily for 14 consecutive days after injury significantly improved the EMG results in left (a) and right hindlimbs (b) in HUMSCs treated groups. Data are represented as mean ± SEM. (a) and show significant differences between HUMSCs + Lav 100, 200, and 400 compared to the SCI group (control 1) ( and , resp.). shows significant differences between HUMSCs + Lav 400 (control 2) and HUMSCs (). (b) and show significant differences between HUMSCs + Lav 100, 200, and 400 compared to the SCI group (control 1) ( and , resp.).

(a) Left hindlimb EMG

(b) Right hindlimb EMG
