Low Doses of G-CSF Prevent Cerebral Infarction and 1 Maintain Muscle Strength in an Experimental Model of 2 Global Ischemic Stroke 3.

CONCLUSIONS: The results indicate a neuroprotective effect of G-CSF, even in small doses, in mice subjected to global cerebral ischemia, thereby reducing the neurofunctional impairment caused by stroke, when considering the maintenance of muscle strength in the treated animals.
