In rats with methanol poisoning, combined elamipretide and methylprednisolone gave a higher retinal degeneration score (less degeneration) than methanol alone.
In plain wordsIn rats with methanol poisoning, elamipretide plus methylprednisolone together led to less retinal damage than no treatment.

2 context sentences(design, population, supporting numbers)
Retinal degeneration was assessed using a scoring system where higher scores indicate less degeneration, with a score of 5 representing normal structure and 1 reflecting severe degeneration.
This study aimed to biochemically and histopathologically evaluate the protective and therapeutic effects of elamipretide and methylprednisolone on methanol poisoning-induced brain, optic nerve, and retinal toxicity.
In this study, Elamipretide (SS-31) was a lab tool or a carrier, part of a mix, or the subject of a lab method. This result is not evidence about taking Elamipretide (SS-31).
