Abstract
<p>Tarlov scores were significantly higher in C<sub>0.01</sub>-C<sub>0.5</sub> groups than in the NS group at 24 and 48 hours after reperfusion. The best dosage was 0.1 mg/kg. There was no significant difference among the C<sub>0.005</sub>, C<sub>1</sub>, and NS groups. Tarlov score: 0 = paraplegia with no lower-extremity movement; 1 = poor lower-extremity movement but unresistant to gravity; 2 = good lower-extremity motor function with resistance to gravity, but unable to draw legs or hop; 3 = ability to draw leg and hop but not normally; 4 = normal lower-extremity motor function. NS = normal saline; C<sub>0.005</sub>-C<sub>1</sub> = clenbuterol 0.005–1 mg/kg; 6 h = 6 hours; 24 h = 24 hours; 48 h = 48 hours. * <i>P</i><0.05 vs. the NS group.</p
