dc.description.abstractProtective vs. Therapeutic Effects of Mitochondria-Targeted Antioxidant MitoTEMPO on Rat Sciatic Nerve Crush Injury: A Comprehensive Electrophysiological Analysis. Peripheral nerve injuries often result in long-lasting functional deficits, prompting the need for effective interventions. MitoTEMPO (2-(2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-oxyl-4-ylamino)-2-oxoethyl) triphenylphosphonium chloride) is a mitochondria-targeted antioxidant that has shown protective and therapeutic effects against pathologies associated with reactive oxygen species. This study explores the utilization of MitoTEMPO as a therapeutic and protective agent for sciatic nerve crush injuries. By employing advanced mathematical approaches, the study seeks to comprehensively analyze nerve conduction parameters, nerve excitability, and the distribution of nerve conduction velocities to gauge the potential. Forty Wistar-Albino rats were randomly divided into following groups: (I) SHAM-animals subjected to sham operation and treated intraperitoneally (i.p.) with vehicle (bidistilled water) for 14 days; (II) CI (crush injury)-animals subjected to CI and treated with vehicle 14 days; (III) MiP-animals subjected to 7 days i.p. MitoTEMPO treatment before CI (0.7 mg/kg/day dissolved in vehicle) and, only vehicle for 7 days after CI, protective MitoTEMPO; and (IV) MiT-animals i.p. treated with only vehicle for 7 days before CI and 7 days with MitoTEMPO (0.7 mg/kg/day dissolved in vehicle) after CI, therapeutic MitoTEMPO. Nerve excitability parameters were measured, including rheobase and chronaxie, along with compound action potential (CAP) recordings. Advanced mathematical analyses were applied to CAP recordings to determine nerve conduction velocities and distribution patterns. The study revealed significant differences in nerve excitability parameters between groups. Nerve conduction velocity was notably reduced in the MiP and CI groups, whereas CAP area values were diminished in the MiP and CI groups compared to the MiT group. Furthermore, CAP velocity was lower in the MiP and CI groups, and maximum depolarization values were markedly lower in the MiP and CI groups compared to the SHAM group. The distribution of nerve conduction velocities indicated alterations in the composition of nerve fiber groups following crush injuries. In conclusion, postoperative MitoTEMPO administration demonstrated promising results in mitigating the detrimental effects of nerve crush injuries.en_US
