PDGFD and ischemic stroke: Analysis of FJB staining (Fig. 6g) indicated that the increased PDGF-D subacute bioavailability was sufficient to decelerate neuronal degeneration in the cortex (VEH:28420 ± 7058, P125:18834 ± 7168, P250:17166 ± 8539; VEH vs. P125, P = 0.1075; VEH vs. P250, P = 0.0538) (Fig. 6h), but to a lesser extent in the striatum (VEH:41963 ± 14816, P125:29620 ± 11595, P250:28753 ± 17210) (Fig. 6i), 2 weeks after ischemic stroke.
