Abstract

In this study we evaluated the influence of gliatilin on the level of excitability of spinal motorneurons and on the functional state of peripheral part of the neuromotor system after spinal cord contusion. Two periods of a traumatic illness were evaluated with electromyography on dog's model. Compare with control animals, in group that received gliatilin we observed a stable level of excitability of spinal motorneurons and functioning of peripheral part of the neuromotor system. It is suggested that gliatilin, being a donor of a glitcerophosphat, could maintain the integrity of neural cells membranes by restoration of the synthesis of phospholipids and carries out a neuroprotective effect.
