Article Synopsis
- Scientists wanted to find a way to protect the brain during surgeries that block blood flow for a short time, using a substance called rhEPO.* -
- They tested this on rats by giving them rhEPO just before stopping blood flow in a part of their brains and checked for any damage after.* -
- The results showed that rhEPO helped reduce brain swelling and other problems, but it didn’t seem to directly prevent brain cell death.*
