Blood glutamate scavengers and exercises as an effective neuroprotective treatment in mice with spinal cord injury.

CONCLUSIONS: As shown by biochemical, immunohistochemical, and functional analysis, BGSs exhibit a substantial neuroprotective effect by reducing excitotoxicity and secondary damage after SCI. Furthermore, in combination with exercises, they reduced axonal degeneration and scarring and resulted in improved functional recovery. PMID: 32619986 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
