Fig. 1From: Epoetin beta pegol for treatment of anemia ameliorates deterioration of erythrocyte quality associated with chronic kidney diseaseTime course of Hb and RBC count. Hb levels (a) and RBC numbers (b) progressively and significantly decreased in the UNX-Thy1 + Vehicle group compared with levels in the Sham group. a C.E.R.A. treatment in the UNX-Thy1 group significantly increased Hb to levels nearly the same as those in the Sham group. b RBC number was also significantly increased by C.E.R.A. treatment in the UNX-Thy1 group. Values are shown as mean ± SEM. *, P < 0.05 (a, b, two-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s test). Sham, n = 5; UNX-Thy1 + Vehicle, n = 6; UNX-Thy1 + C.E.R.A., n = 6Back to article page
