- Rat median nerve crush (Zagreb, 2023)
- 10 mcg/kg IP daily × 28 days
- 34% faster nerve conduction recovery vs control
- Measurable improvement by day 14, peak at day 28
- VEGF upregulation, axonal regrowth on EM
- Animal model. Human translation unconfirmed
- Rat carpal tunnel compression (comparative, 2022)
- 5 mcg/kg peri-neural every 48h × 21 days
- 87% baseline motor function recovery
- Plateau at day 21
- Reduced demyelination, Schwann cell proliferation
- Localized injection showed better efficiency than systemic
- Sciatic nerve transection model (2021)
- 20 mcg/kg systemic daily × 30 days
- Functional gait recovery, reduced fibrotic scarring
- Partial recovery by day 10, full by day 30
- FGF-2 expression, collagen remodeling
- Severe injury model. Exceeds typical carpal tunnel pathology
- Delayed-treatment control (2023)
- 10 mcg/kg starting day 7 post-injury
- Only 68% functional recovery vs 87% immediate-treatment
- Recovery plateau by day 28
- Delayed VEGF response, incomplete remyelination
- Suggests early intervention is critical for maximal benefit
