Figure 1From: Etanercept attenuates traumatic brain injury in rats by reducing early microglial expression of tumor necrosis factor-αEtancercept attenuated FPI-induced increased neurological severity scores (NSS) (A), decreased motor performance (B), and increased brain ischemic volume (C). *The FPI+saline group (▤; n=8) showed a significant increase in NSS (P<0.01), a significant decrease in maximal angle (P<0.05), and a significant increase in brain ischemic volume (P<0.05) compared with the untreated sham-operated group (■) 3 days post-FPI. +The FPI+etanercept group (▩; n=8) showed a significant decrease in NSS (P<0.05), a significant increase in maximal angle (P<0.05), and a significant decrease in brain ischemia volume (P<0.05) compared with the FPI+saline group (▤; n=8).Back to article page
