Abstract
Mongrel dogs with experimental spinal cord injury were treated with the carotenoid compound crocetin. Crocetin increases the diffusion speed of O2 through plasma, and should provide a net increase in O2 at the level of the capillary endothelial cell. Treated animals showed a significant improvement in recovery rates as compared to controls.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
