Effects of electroacupuncture on adipose tissue expression of HIF-1α signaling and hypoxia-related genes. Immunohistochemical staining (a) and Western blotting analysis (b) of HIF-1α in adipose tissue in ob/ob mice treated with EA. mRNA levels of selected hypoxia related genes in adipose tissue after EA treatment were examined by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction; Each result represented the experiment performed in triplicate assays in the different experimental groups. Results are the means ± S.E.M. *P < 0.05, compared with C57BL/6 J mice, #P < 0.05, compared with ob/ob mice. EA, electroacupuncture. 3 T, three times EA treatment. 7 T, seven times EA treatment. VEGFA, vascular endothelial growth factor A. Slc2a1, glucose transporter 1. GPX1, glutathione peroxidase1
