Attenuates Anxiety and Neurodevelopmental Neurotoxicity in Male Rats with Fetal
Alcohol Spectrum Disorder via Increased BDNF-Positive Cells, Astrogliosis
Suppression, and Reduced Hippocampal Cell Death
The synthesis of EPO by immature neurons also plays a crucial role in the
embryonic stage. In addition, EPO inhibits astrogliosis and cell death while
increasing the number of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF)-positive
cells, which is linked to reductions in anxiety-like behavior and neuronal
damage.
