Eze improved functional recovery and neuronal damage in SCI rats. A. The recovery of function was determined using BBB locomotor scale score. B. The function of Eze on the loss of motor neurons was measured by Nissl staining. (magnification, 200×). C. The number of motor neurons was qualified. D. The expression of neuron-specific protein NeuN was evaluated using western blot analysis. All results were obtained from at least three independent experiments. All numerical data were presented as the mean ± standard deviation. ***P < 0.001 vs. sham; #P < 0.05, ###P < 0.001 vs. SCI+DMSO. Eze, Ezetimibe; SCI, spinal cord injury; BBB, Basso-Beattie-Bresnahan; DMSO, dimethylsulfoxide.
