Anxiety disorders are common in FASD. Animals exposed to alcohol exhibit anxiety-like traits. Erythropoietin (EPO) is produced by the kidneys and liver. The synthesis of EPO by immature neurons also plays a crucial role in the embryonic stage. In addition, EPO inhibits astrogliosis and cell death while increasing the number of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF)-positive cells, which is linked to reductions in anxiety-like behavior and neuronal damage.
