Model: Contusion spinal cord injury

Spinal cord injury increased 5-hydroxymethylcytosine and Tet family expression in the brain motor cortex. Ascorbic acid at 100 mg/kg further enhanced 5-hydroxymethylcytosine and Tet1, Tet2 and Tet3 expression, reduced lesion cavity area and ED1-positive macrophage and microglia numbers, promoted 5H…
