Figure 5

The intravenous administration of IG20 compound affects the recovery from SCI in locomotion rating scale for lesioned rats. The adult rats with a contusion in spinal cord were evaluated by BBB rating test in days postlesion as shown. The animals treated by IG20 and controls have shown the same deficit in locomotion at day 1, but the recovery was higher in the control group of saline than in treated animals during this study. value = 0.0020.
