ABSTRACT
We determined time dependent changes in the levels of the antioxidant enzymes, superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and catalase (CAT) at 1, 4 and 24 hours after standardized reversible spinal cord injury in rats. In each segment (rostral, lesion, caudal) enzyme activities at 1, 4 and 24 hours were not significantly different. Without time limitation we have found that SOD and GPx activities were not significantly different (p > 0.05), but CAT activity was significantly high (p = 0.008) in the lesion segment than the rostral and caudal segment. According to our results we suggest that one of the main reason for tissue damage during such a spinal cord trauma model may be neither H2O2 nor H2O2 derived radicals.
