By contrast, in the ischemia + peptide group there was a significantly higher density of GAD+ cells (p = 0.036; Figure 2A), parvalbumin+ cells (p = 0.017; Figure 2B), and calretinin+ cells (p = 0.041; Figure 2C) but not of calbindin-28k+ cells (p > 0.999; Figure 2D), in the parasagittal cortex compared with ischemia + vehicle animals, indicating significantly greater survival of those cell types after peptide 5 treatment. The gene discussed is PVALB; the disease is ischemia.
