Table 3 EMG motor responses in the biceps brachii and flexor carpi ulnaris muscles

From: Ciliary neurotrophic factor promotes motor reinnervation of the musculocutaneous nerve in an experimental model of end-to-side neurorrhaphy

 

BB mean amplitude (mV ± SD)

FCU mean amplitude (mV ± SD)

PBS

4.8 ± 2.8

17.8 ± 2.1

Cerebrolysin

14.8 ± 4.4*

16.2 ± 4.7

CNTF

12.9 ± 3.3*

16.7 ± 1.8

  1. Mean amplitudes of EMG motor responses in the biceps brachii (BB) and flexor carpi ulnaris (FCU) muscles 2 months after end-to-side neurorrhaphy of MCN stump with UN and intrathecal application for 2 weeks of PBS, Cerebrolysin or CNTF.
  2. * indicates statistical significance (P < 0.05) when comparing rats with ALZET minipumps filled with CNTF or Cerebrolysin and PBS.
