a Chemical structure of GRb1. b Neurological functional assessment measured by BBB. In general, during the whole experimental period, GRb1-treated group showed significantly better function in comparison with the SCII group. In the sham group, neurological functions of rats were basically no influence. c Timeline of GRb1 injection (IP) during the ischemia-reperfusion procedure. d–e Oxidant stress marker parameter results of MDA in serum and spinal cord tissue. f–g Oxidant stress marker parameter results of SOD in serum and spinal cord tissue. Although the SOD values of each subgroup in the drug group were higher than the sham group, the values of each time node were lower than those in the SCII group. The SOD values of each subgroup in the drug group were lower than the sham group, but the values of all time nodes were higher than those in the SCII group. (n = 15 in each group, *P < 0.05, compared with the sham group; #P < 0.05, GRb1 vs. SCII group)
