Figure 4

Ventricular volume ratios (ipsilateral vs contralateral) of both treated and control groups increased monotonically from 1 day to 6 weeks after stroke (a). The mean ratios were significantly lower for the treated rats than controls starting 4 weeks after stroke. The hemispheric volume ratio (ipsilateral vs contralateral) was significantly different between groups starting 5 weeks after stroke (b). Excluding the ventricle, changes of parenchymal volume ratio (c) were similar to the hemispheric ratio. Cerebral tissue loss in the EPO treated rats was significantly reduced from 5 weeks after stroke compared to the controls.
