Despite the presence of small industries and its usage amongst local folks, there is little work done on its biological activity, especially on the central nervous system. In the present study, Stichopus variegatus (SV) were harvested, processed and extracted in the laboratory and were evaluated on their proliferative activity on rat astrocytes cell lines (in vitro), as well as contusive spinal cord injury in a rat model (in vivo). In vitro analysis of SV extract showed proliferative activity of rat astrocytes cell line at 5 μg/ml and 10 μg/ml. 2012-06 Thesis http://eprints.usm.my/44845/ http://eprints.usm.my/44845/1/MOHD%20NOR%20AZIM%20AB%20PATAR.pdf application/pdf en public masters Universiti Sains Malaysia Pusat Pengajian Sains Perubatan
