FIG. 8.

Graph depicting EPO protein levels in CCI hippocampus ipsilateral to injury (CCII), expressed as densitometry units relative to GAPDH, at PID 2 and 7. CCI EPO protein levels increased relative to sham levels at PID 7. Representative immunoblot images are shown for CCI and sham animals. Results are presented as EPO:GAPDH ratio ± standard error of the mean; n = 6; *p < 0.05 relative to sham; CCI, controlled cortical impact; GAPDH, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase; PID, post-injury day).
