Effects of Therapeutic Hypothermia on Apoptosis and Autophagy After Spinal Cord Injury in Rats

Conclusion. Both TH and MP have neuroprotective effects on injured spinal cord tissues via the inhibition of apoptosis and autophagy. Thus, the application of moderate systemic hypothermia may be a useful treatment modality after acute SCI. Level of Evidence: N/A
