| Research Abstract |
This study has revealed that fasudil has a neuroprotective effect against ischemic spinal cord injury in rabbits. Inhibition of the Rho/Rho kinase pathway by fasudil reduces the number of infiltrating cells in the ventral horn and prolongs the expression of eNOS. In the near future, ROCK may be an important therapeutic target for paraplegia induced by spinal cord ischemia.
