Table 2. The effects of ferulic acid (FA) on type A and type B monoamine oxidase activities in the spinal cord of sham and CCI mice.

Group	Dose(mg/kg)	Monoamine oxidase-A activity (nmol/30 min/mg protein)	Monoamine oxidase-B activity (nmol/30 min/mg protein)
Sham + Vehicle		59.3 ± 3.5	59.8 ± 4.9
CCI + Vehicle		92.6 ± 4.8###	63.9 ± 3.4
CCI + FA	20	79.2 ± 5.4	60.8 ± 5.5
CCI + FA	40	68.4 ± 5.2**	61.6 ± 4.6
CCI + FA	80	66.3 ± 5.5**	54.4 ± 6.4

Table values are expressed as mean ± S.E.M. with units of ng/g for 8 mice in each group.
