Electroacupuncture suppressed the deposition of Aβ 1-42 in the hippocampus and cortex. ELISA test results revealed that Aβ1-42 depositions from the (A) cortex and (B) hippocampus in the APP + EA group and the Con + EA group were significantly lower than those in their non EA-treated counterparts (n = 5 in each group) (*P < .05 vs. Con group; #P < .05 vs. APP group). (C) Western blot result indicated that the expression of Aβ1-42 in the Con + EA group was lower than that in Con group. A similar result was detected in the APP + EA group compared with the APP group. (n = 3 in each group) (*P < .05 vs. Con group; #P < .05 vs. APP group).
