Effect of GSNO on locomotor function. Studies on locomotor function using BBB locomotor rating scale were performed at days 1, 3, 7 and 14. BBB rating was evaluated by a blinded observer. Score of 21 (BBB) was assigned to sham animals displaying coordinated gait, consistent toe clearance, lifted tail, steady trunk, and parallel paw position throughout their stance. Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation (n = 7). ⁺p < 0.05 versus GSNO day 1, 3, ⁺⁺p < 0.01 versus GSNO day 1, 3, *p < 0.05 versus SCI day 14. NS non-significant
