Abstract Title:
Formononetin protects TBI rats against neurological lesions and the underlying mechanism.
Abstract:
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major cause of disability or death worldwide, especially in the young. Thus, effective medication with few side effects needs to be developed. This work aimed to explore the potential benefits of formononetin (FN) on TBI rodent model and to discuss the regarding mechanism. These findings showed that FN effectively increased the activities of glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) in brain tissue of TBI rats (P
