The OE lesions scores were evaluated at 60 min (groups A and C) and at 120 min (groups B and D) of reperfusion; after Epo administration in groups C and D.</p> <p><strong>Results:</strong> Epo administration non-significantly decreased the OE scores by 0.3 without lesions [-0.8356043 - 0.2356043] (p= 0.2803). Reperfusion time kept non-significantly increased the OE by 0.35 without lesions [-0.2356043 - 0.8356043] (p=0.2557). However, erythropoietin administration and reperfusion time together non-significantly decreased the OE scores by 0.1272727 without lesions [-0.4530022 - 0.1984567] (p=0.4339).</p> <p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> Epo administration showed a non-significant short-term recessing trend for OE scores without lesions alteration. Perhaps, a longer study time than 2 hours or a higher Epo dosage may reveal clearer and significant effects.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> Constantinos Tsompos C. Panoulis K Τοutouzas A. Triantafyllou G.
