Quantitative analysis of Ang-1 and Ang-2 mRNA after ICH. After ICH induction, notable upregulation of Ang-1 (A) and Ang-2 (B) mRNAs could be detected at 3 days, and the upregulation of Ang-1 persisted until 14 days, while the expression of Ang-2 mRNA decreased after 7 days. Post-hoc analysis indicated striking increases in the expression of Ang-1 mRNA from 3 days to 14 days and Ang-2 mRNA at 3 days in the SEZ group as compared with the SNE group. However, EA at a nonacupoint had little effect on the expression of Ang-1 and Ang-2 at the mRNA level. *P < 0.05 vs. the SNE group.△△ P < 0.01 vs. the former time point in the SNE group (mean ± SD, n = 5 for each time point).
