NBP facilitates improved recovery from spinal cord injury (SCI). After SCI, NBP was administered by oral (80 mg/kg/d) gavage once per day for 28 d, and recovery was assessed via the BBB locomotion scale, the inclined plane test, and footprint analysis. A. The BBB scores of the sham, SCI, and SCI+NBP groups (n = 8 per group). The score of the sham group was 21 points, which represents normal motor function. Data represent Mean values ± SEM, *P < 0.001 versus the SCI group, $P < 0.001 versus the SCI group, and #P < 0.001 versus the SCI group. B. The inclined plane test scores of the different groups (n = 8 per group). Data represent Mean values ± SEM, *P < 0.001 versus the SCI group, $P < 0.001 versus the SCI group, and #P < 0.001 versus the SCI group. C. Footprint analysis results of the different groups.
