Abstract: Objective To study the effects of nitroglycerin on leak point pressure of chronic complete spinal cord injury female rats. Methods Models of chronic complete spinal cord injury in female rats were established. Changes of leak point pressure were investigated following nitroglycerin 3 mg intraperitoneal injection. Results Leak point pressure decreased from (32.27±15.00) cmH2O to (23.29±9.46) cmH2O. Conclusion There was obvious descent of leak point pressure of chronic complete spinal cord injury female rats following nitroglycerin intraperitoneal injection.

Key words: spinal cord injury, nitroglycerin, nitric oxide, leak point pressure
