Fig. 3From: Simvastatin protects ischemic spinal cord injury from cell death and cytotoxicity through decreasing oxidative stress: in vitro primary cultured rat spinal cord model under oxygen and glucose deprivation-reoxygenation conditionsMorphological change in the motor neuron following ischemia–reperfusion injury with or without simvastatin. a Without simvastatin. Ischemia–reperfusion damage resulted in massive cell loss and destruction of neural networks. b With simvastatin. Treatment of simvastatin markedly increased neuronal survival after ischemia–reperfusion damage. Cells treated with simvastatin showed preserved morphological features of neurons with a denser meshwork of neurites when compared to (a)Back to article page
