Two months after implantation, all of the adrenal medulla grafts treated with NFs, but only 45% of the untreated grafts, had survived. The levels of tyrosine hydroxylase activity in the caudate nucleus however, were not significantly different between the sham-operated control and either NF-treated or untreated grafted groups. These results indicate that treatment with NFs significantly enhances the survival rate of the grafts.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessNeurosciences & neurologySurgeryCorpus striatumTyrosine hydroxylaseAdrenal medullaTransplantationReinnervationBrain graftArticleA1988P4659000032-s2.0-00237655449949982262901688Clinical neurologySurgery
