Figure 4. Effects of r-Slit2 on neurological function at 4 weeks post HIE.
(A–B) Representative pictures of Nissl’s stain for the brain slices showed tissue loss which was significantly reduced on treatment with r-Slit2 as compared to vehicle. (C–D) Rh-Slit2 group showed a significant improvement in neurological function as shown by water-maze, where memory and learning was evaluated. (Data represent +/− SD; *p<0.05 versus sham, # versus vehicle; n=6/group using one-way or two way ANOVA followed by Tukey multiple-comparison post hoc analysis). (E–F) Rh-Slit2 showed to improve motor deficits as seen from rota rod and foot fault tests. (Data represent +/− SD; *p<0.05 versus sham, # versus vehicle; n=6/group using one-way or two-way ANOVA followed by Tukey multiple-comparison post hoc analysis).
