Revolutionizing Spinal Injury Treatment: Common Drug Found To Prevent Damage to Fat Tissue

Study in mice finds that a widely-used medication prevents damage to fat tissue from injuries

This activity can cause abdominal fat tissue compounds to leak and pool in the liver and other organs, a new animal study has found.
