Effects of EA-5Hz and EA-25Hz on the mitochondrial expression of Bcl-2, Bax, and Bcl-xL in the ischemic cortical penumbra. a Representative images show the mitochondrial expression of Bcl-2, Bax, and Bcl-xL 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. COX IV was used as an internal control. The relative mitochondrial expression of b Bcl-2, c Bax, d Bcl-2/Bax, e Bcl-xL, and f Bcl-xL/Bax 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). mito, mitochondrial fraction. Data are presented as mean ± SD. *P < 0.05 compared with the Sham group; #P < 0.05 compared with the Model group
