Eugenol promotes functional recovery and alleviates inflammation, oxidative stress, and neural apoptosis in a rat model of spinal cord injury.
Eugenol, a natural phenolic compound found in essential oils, shows a variety of remedial properties, while its effect on spinal cord injury (SCI) is still unknown. ⋯ These findings suggest that down-regulating NF-κB and MAPK signaling pathway may support the neuroprotective effect of Eugenol against traumatic SCI.
