Degree of labeling was scored on a scale in which 0 = no neurons, 1 = scattered neurons, 2 = light label, 3 = moderate label, 4 = heavy label, and 5 = very heavy label. Values represent mean ± SEM.
↵ap < 0.05 compared with the earliest survival time (ANOVA with Tukey's HSD post hoc test).
↵bp < 0.05 compared with short survival time (ANOVA with Tukey's HSD post hoc test).
