Popis: Spinal cord injury (SCI) is caused by disease or trauma and results in a partial or complete loss of motor or sensory function below the injury level. Most patients with SCI are young, and long-term disability imposes both psychological and financial burdens. Rice is the most abundant source of γ-oryzanol, which exhibits both antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. γ-Oryzanol has been shown to cross the blood–brain barrier in an intact form and have beneficial effects on brain function. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to report the effect of γ-oryzanol on motor function recovery in mice after SCI.
