Objective: Assessment of long-term behavioral outcome and functional recovery in rats after cortical ischemia with G-CSF treatment
Protocol Steps
1
Cortical Ischemia Induction
Rats were subjected to cortical ischemia using one of two different rat models of acute stroke

Note: Two different rat models were used in this study

G-CSF Treatment Administration
G-CSF was administered to treated animals following cortical ischemia induction

3
Long-term Behavioral Assessment
Behavioral testing was conducted to assess functional recovery outcomes in treated and control animals
Long-term assessment period (specific duration not stated in provided text)Not specified in provided text
Note: Assessment measured functional recovery related to neural progenitor response
