Figure 6From: Macrophage presence is essential for the regeneration of ascending afferent fibres following a conditioning sciatic nerve lesion in adult ratsHigher BDNF Concentration Serum Levels in Saline-Treated Controls. Analysis of serum trophic levels at the end of the experimental period revealed an increased BDNF serum concentration in saline-treated controls, as compared to liposome-treated animals (*P < 0.05). Columns represent an averaged mean (n = 10) and error bars indicate error of mean (+/- S.E.). BDNF = brain derived neurotrophic factor.Back to article page
