Effect of ciclesonide administration on brain histology parameters in an experimental intra-amniotic enterotoxin administration model.
| Group | Necrosis | Edema | Inflammation | Hemorrhage | Infarct |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CTL | 1.8 ± 0.4 | 0 | 0 | 0.21 ± 0.09 | 0 |
| ETX | 1.6 ± 0.3 | 0 | 0 | 0.30 ± 0.11 | 0 |
| ETX-Cicle | 1.4 ± 0.3 | 0 | 0 | 0.16 ± 0.08 | 0 |
The numbers of pups studied in each group are as follows: control (CTL), n = 19; enterotoxin (ETX), n = 20; ETX-ciclesonide (ETX-Cicle), n = 19. No significant differences were observed between groups.
