Figure 11. Pain behavior reversed after EPO was injected at the ipsilateral GEL site.

Figure 11.

After a perineural infiltration of EPO (200 units in NS) the paw withdrawals to pinprick decreased bilaterally to near pre-GEL procedure levels. The groups of “No EPO” control and “EPO SC” injected subcutaneously continued with robust pain behavior, bilaterally. The + on day 155 signifies 2/5 rats in the “EPO at site” group re-injected with EPO to ensure accurate localization. * p < .001 “EPO at site” vs. “No EPO”. EPO at site n = 5, No EPO group n = 5, EPO subcutaneous group n = 4.
