Figure 2From: 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 Effects of EA at acupoints on cerebral infarct and neurological status. (A) The percentage of cerebral infarct areas among the sham, model, EA, non-acup, U0126 + EA, and vehicle + EA groups were measured after 3 d of reperfusion. (B) The neurological deficit scores among the sham, model, EA, non-acup, U0126 + EA, and vehicle + EA groups were measured after 1 d and 3 d of reperfusion. Data are presented as mean ± SD. *P < 0.05 compared with the sham group; #P < 0.05 compared with the model group.Back to article page
