Ozone Partially Decreases Axonal and Myelin Damage in an Experimental Sciatic Nerve Injury Model

To investigate the effects of ozone in experimental acute sciatic nerve injury.Twenty-eight male rats were divided into four groups (n = 7): control (C), ozone (O), injury (SNI), and treatment with ozone after injury (SNI + Ozone). Sciatic nerve injury was generated by compressing the right sciatic nerve for 90 s using a Yasargil aneurysm clip in groups SNI and SNI + Ozone. A 70 µg/ml concentration of ozone was given four times (once a day at...
