Assessing Therapies for Traumatic Brain or Spinal Cord Injuries

A recent study published by Dohi et al. (2014) examined the effects of molecular hydrogen given in drinking water, using a traumatic brain injury (TBI) animal model and conditionally immortalized mouse cerebral pericyte cells (ImBPC). Dohi et al. used a Seahorse Bioscience XF24 Extracellular Flux Analyzer to measure the changes in mitochondrial respiration using the XF Cell Mito Stress Test and the results of the study are summarized here.
