Saline 1198 ± 45 0 0
AdNull 1455 ± 25 2.1 ± 0.2 31 ± 3
AdNoggin 1436 ± 43 2.4 ± 0.1 34 ± 2
AdBDNF 1573 ± 23 8.3 ± 0.2 131 ± 2

  • The counts (column A) and their derived percentages (column B) were obtained from six striatal sections derived from each of four animals per treatment group. The data were then used to predict the number of BrdU+/β-III tubulin cells/mm3 for each animal; the per animal values were averaged to give the numbers reported in column C.
