Figure 1From: Intravenous administration of mesenchymal stem cells exerts therapeutic effects on parkinsonian model of rats: Focusing on neuroprotective effects of stromal cell-derived factor-1αImprovement in forelimb akinesia and amphetamine-induced rotations by MSC transplantation. A: Cylinder test revealed the amelioration of forelimb akinesia in rats receiving MSC transplantation, compared with control groups at 3 and 4 weeks after transplantation. *p < 0.05 versus the control groups. B: The number of rotations was significantly less in rats receiving MSC transplantation, compared with that in control groups at 2, 3 and 4 weeks after transplantation. *p < 0.05 versus the control groups.Back to article page
