Plasma EPO and m-VEGF levels on day 23, at the termination of the follow-up. On day 7 of the follow-up, concentrations of human and murine EPO (a) and VEGF (b) were measured in the blood plasma of the TBI mice, treated or untreated with f-hPSCs. EPO level was significantly elevated in TBI mice and further increased in f-hPSC-treated mice. h-VEGF was not detected, but m-VEGF reached detectable levels and was significantly higher in the untreated TBI mice, relative to the Naïve or f-hPSC-treated TBI mice (p value: *< 0.05, **< 0.01)
