Locomotor performance after spinal cord hemisection in animals that received a single intravenous injection of either saline or PUFAs. Both ALA- and DHA-treated animals performed significantly better on the BBB open field (A) and the beam walk (B) tasks than the remaining groups, which did not differ. DHA- and ALA-treated animals also had significantly fewer foot slips with the hindlimb ipsilateral to the lesion on the horizontal ladder (C) compared with the other groups, although this difference was only seen for the ALA group at 7 d after surgery. In contrast, DHA- but not ALA-treated animals showed significantly fewer slips with the hindlimb contralateral to the lesion, compared with vehicle- and OA-treated animals, whereas AA-treated animals were worse on this parameter than all of the other groups (D). *DHA- and ALA-treated animals significantly different from remaining groups (p < 0.05); #DHA-treated animals significantly different from the remaining groups (p < 0.05); ♦, vehicle-, DHA-, and ALA-treated animals significantly different from AA-treated animals (p < 0.05).
