Effects of EA-5Hz and EA-25Hz on the cytosolic expression of p-JNK, JNK, p-ERK1/2, ERK1/2, p-p38 MAPK, p38 MAPK, p-Akt, and Akt in the ischemic cortical penumbra. a Representative western blot images show the cytosolic expression of p-JNK, JNK, p-ERK1/2, ERk1/2, p-p38 MAPK, p38 MAPK, p-Akt, and Akt 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. Actin was used as an internal control. The relative cytosolic expression of b p-JNK/JNK, c p-ERK1/2/ERK1/2, d p-p38 MAPK/p38 MAPK, and e p-Akt/Akt 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). cyto, cytosolic fraction. Data are presented as mean ± SD. *P < 0.05 compared with the Sham group; #P < 0.05 compared with the Model group
