Effect of short-term treatment with the lyophilized extract of the M. pruriens plant on lipid peroxidation concentrations in injured tissue in rats with mTBI. The lipid peroxidation concentration in the motor cortex (a); striatum nucleus (b); midbrain (c); and nucleus accumbens (d) are shown in naïve rats (N), sham-operated rats (S), and rats with mTBI that received the vehicle (V) or the lyophilized extract of the M. pruriens plant (50 mg/kg, i.p., once a day for five days) (M) 3, 7, 15, 30 and 60 days after mTBI. The values are expressed as the mean ± standard deviation of 6 animals per group. *p ≤ 0.05 according to two-way ANOVAs followed by the two-stage linear step-up procedure of Benjamini, Krieger, and Yekutieli.
