Özet

OBJECTIVE: We designed this experimental study to examine the potential positive influences of the acetylated derivative of acetyl-L-carnithine, an endogenous substance present in the nervous system, on chronic compression neuropathy. This is the first study ever published on the medical treatment of experimental chronic compression neuropathy.
