Etanercept Attenuates Traumatic Brain Injury in Rats by Reducing Brain TNF-α Contents and by Stimulating Newly Formed Neurogenesis

Figure 1

Etanercept attenuated TBI-induced increased neurological NSS and decreased motor performance. *The TBI rats treated with vehicle (TBI + V) (lined column; ) showed a significant increase in NSS ( ) and a significant decrease in maximal angle ( ) compared with the untreated sham-TBI group (white column) 7 days after TBI. +The TBI rats treated with etanercept (TBI + E) (crossed column; ) showed a significant decrease in NSS ( ) and a significant increase in maximal angle ( ) compared with the (TBI + V) group (lined column; ).
