The effect of estradiol to reduce superoxide production at the lesion epicenter is not receptor mediated. Determination of superoxide activity in spinal cord tissue of estradiol + MPP treated rats 2 days after SCI. Epicenter and caudal segments of lesioned spinal cord 2 days after injury where analyzed for lucigenin chemiluminescence. Estradiol + MPP did not block the effect seen with estradiol (E2) alone. The values shown are the mean ± SEM (n=4/group and *p < .05 when compared to control).
