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

Figure 4

Mean ± standard deviation values of the number of BrdU-DCX-positive cells in the penumbra ischemic cortex (see the legend of Figure 1 for group abbreviations). The data were obtained 7 days after TBI or sham-TBI operation (𝑛=8). *𝑃<0.05 compared with the sham-TBI group (white column); ⁺𝑃<0.05 compared with the TBI + V group (lined column). Right panels depict representative DCX-BrdU double stainings for one sham-TBI rat, one TBI + V rat, and one TBI + E rat.
