From: Fluoxetine treatment promotes functional recovery in a rat model of cervical spinal cord injury
Fluoxetine induces recovery of motor functions after SCI.
(a, b) Staircase. After SCI, all rats lost grasping ability. Starting from the 2nd week, FLX rats began to retrieve significantly more pellets and showed a greater accuracy than CTR-inj. (c, d) Horizontal ladder. After SCI, the number of footslips was significantly increased in all groups. Starting from the 4th week, FLX rats showed a better performance than CTR-inj. The performance of CTR-sham rats did not change throughout the testing period. Box-whisker plot: the horizontal lines in the box denote the 25th, 50th (median) and 75th percentile values; the small square inside the box represents the mean; error bars denote the 5th and 95th percentile values. X represents max and min values. Curves: error bars represent SEM. Symbols indicate statistical difference.
