The main result is an effective estimation of the best exponent \(\rho \in \lbrack 0,1)\) in the Lojasiewicz gradient inequality \[ \left\vert \nabla f(x)\right\vert \geq C\left\vert f(x)\right\vert ^{\rho } \] in a neighbourhood of \(a\in U\subset \mathbb{R}^{n}\) for some constant \(C>0,\) for a Nash function \(f:U\rightarrow \mathbb{R},\) where \(f(a)=0.\) Namely, if \(d\) is the degree of a nonzero polynomial \(P\) such that \( P(x,f(x))=0,\) \(x\in U,\) then the above inequality holds for \[ \rho =1-\frac{1}{2(2d-1)^{3n+1}}. \] This is a generalization of the \textit{P. Solernó} [Appl. Algebra Eng. Commun. Comput. 2, No. 1, 1--14 (1991; Zbl 0754.14035)] and \textit{D. D'Acunto} and \textit{K. Kurdyka} [Ann. Pol. Math. 87, 51--61 (2005; Zbl 1093.32011)] type estimation for polynomials. As a corollary the authors obtain an estimation of the degree of sufficiency of non-isolated Nash function singularities.
