Erythropoietin amplifies stroke-induced oligodendrogenesis in the rat.

Erythropoietin (EPO), a hematopoietic cytokine, enhances neurogenesis and angiogenesis during stroke recovery. In the present study, we examined the effect of EPO on oligodendrogenesis in a rat model of embolic focal cerebral ischemia.Recombinant human EPO (rhEPO) at a dose of 5,000 U/kg (n = 18) or...
