Effect of rhEPO on BrdU-positive cells in the cortex 35 days after TBI. Delayed treatment with rhEPO (E, F) significantly increases BrdU-positive cells (stained brown, arrows in D and F) in the cortex as compared with the saline group (C, D). Scale bar = 50μm (A, C, E); 25μm (B, D, F). The number of BrdU-positive cells is shown in (G). Data represent mean ± SD. # p < 0.05 vs. the saline group. N (mice/group) = 12 (EPO); 13 (Saline); 8 (Sham).
