Effects of EA-5Hz and EA-25Hz on the mitochondrial and cytosolic expression of Smac/DIABLO, cytochrome c, and AIF in the ischemic cortical penumbra. Representative images show a mitochondrial and c cytosolic expression of Smac/DIABLO, cytochrome c, and AIF in the ischemic cortical penumbra in the Sham, Model, EA-5Hz, Non-acup-5Hz, EA-25Hz, and Non-acup-25Hz groups 7 days after reperfusion. The relative b mitochondrial Smac/DIABLO, d mitochondrial cytochrome c, e mitochondrial AIF, f cytosolic Smac/DIABLO, g cytosolic cytochrome c, and h cytosolic AIF expression was measured in the ischemic cortical penumbra in the Sham, Model, EA-5Hz, Non-acup-5Hz, EA-25Hz, and Non-acup-25Hz groups (n = 4). Data are presented as mean ± SD. *P < 0.05 compared with the Sham group; #P < 0.05 compared with the Model group
