Figure 4From: Neuroprotective effect of the hairy root extract of Angelica gigas NAKAI on transient focal cerebral ischemia in rats through the regulation of angiogenesisEffect of AG extract on the expression of angiogenesis-regulated molecules in the brain of MCAO-induced ischemic rats. After MCAO/reperfusion, the protein was isolated from brain tissues, and detected the expression of Ang-1, Tie-2 (A) and VEGF (B) by western blot. β-actin was used as a control. Relative folds of Ang-1 (C), Tie2 (D) and VEGF (E) were calculated by normalization to β-actin. Data in the histogram are expressed as means ± SD of three independent experiments (n = 3 per group). **P < 0.01 vs. sham; and #P < 0.05, ##P < 0.01, and ###P < 0.001 vs. vehicle.Back to article page
