Figure 5From: Beneficial effect of the oxygen free radical scavenger amifostine (WR-2721) on spinal cord ischemia/reperfusion injury in rabbits Superoxide radical assay. The superoxide radical assay revealed a statistical significant increase (p = 0.000) of 27.43% in superoxide free radical formation in the spinal cord of the ischemic rabbits (Group II) compare to controls (Group I). The values of superoxide radical assay in amifostine group were preserved.Back to article page
