Lesion Analysis among Treatment Groups.

Following training animals were subjected to MCAO and distributed among the different treatment groups depicted above. Details of drug treatment, housing and activity conditions are described in more detail in Methods. After 8 weeks of behavioral testing 5 animals were sacrificed for FGF-2 and histological analysis and 7 animals were microinjected with biotinylated dextran amine and sacrificed two weeks later for fiber staining and histological analysis. No significant difference in lesion size among groups was observed (one-way ANOVA). Data represent the mean ± SEM of the indicated number of animals per group.Lesion Analysis among Treatment Groups.
