From: Electroacupuncture-like stimulation at Baihui and Dazhui acupoints exerts neuroprotective effects through activation of the brain-derived neurotrophic factor-mediated MEK1/2/ERK1/2/p90RSK/bad signaling pathway in mild transient focal cerebral ischemia in rats

Figure 6

Effects of EA at acupoints on cytosolic expression of pMEK1/2, pERK1/2, pp90RSK, and pBad. (A) Representative western blot images showed the cytosolic expression of pMEK1/2, pERK1/2, pp90RSK, and pBad in the ischemic cortex in the sham, model, EA, non-acup, and U0126 + EA groups after 3 d of reperfusion. Actin was used as an internal control. The relative cytosolic expression of (B) pMEK1/2, (C) pERK1/2, (D) pp90RSK, and (E) pBad (n = 4) was assessed in the ischemic cortex in the sham, model, EA, non-acup, and U0126 + EA groups. Data are presented as mean ± SD. #P < 0.05 compared with the model group.
