Figure 3

Survival of ventral horn neurons in rats with SC injury treated with MLIF or PBS. Ventral horn neurons in sham-operated animals are also depicted. MLIF treatment increased the number of ventral horn neurons at 3 mm rostral region and 3 and 4 mm caudal region the epicenter to the site of injury (* , Kruskal-Wallis followed by Mann-Whitney test; ** ). Bars represent the mean ± SEM of 4 rats.
