Spinal cord injury (SCI) is an important cause of impairment of sensory and motor nerve function. It has been shown that free-radical species play an important role in the pathogenesis of acute tissue trauma after SCI. There are no proven pharmacological therapies that provide neuroprotection and stimulate axonal growth after trauma. ⋯ The study showed that the neuroprotective activity of NAC had limited positive influence on the regeneration of the isolated SCI in rats.
