Erythropoietin effect on sensorimotor recovery after contusive spinal cord injury: an electrophysiological study in rats.
RatSpinal cord injuryContusionSprague-DawleyFemalen = n=25 rhEPO and n=25 salineAcute administration following injury
Model: Contusive spinal cord injury
rhEPO treated rats showed better sensory and motor transmission through spared spinal pathways than saline controls, most prominent at relatively early times, with a parallel time course to improvement in BBB score.
