We used both in vivo MRI and proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy ((1)H-MRS) to evaluate the therapeutic effect of DC on lateral controlled cortical impact (CCI) rat models at 3h, 1 d, 2 d, 3d and 7d after TBI.
The present results suggest that DC can indeed reduce brain edema formation and exhibits good neuroprotective efficacy after CCI injury in rats.
Our data suggest that DC can reduce brain edema; decrease the apparent diffusion coefficient value, contusion volume and lactate (Lac)/creatine (Cr) ratio; and increase the N-acetylaspartate (NAA)/Cr and choline (Cho)/Cr ratios after TBI.
