Electroacupuncture Could Regulate the NF-𝜿B Signaling Pathway to Ameliorate the Inflammatory Injury in Focal Cerebral Ischemia/Reperfusion Model Rats

Figure 2

Infarct sizes at 24 h after reperfusion in the rats with 2 h of MCAO (5 rats in each group, total 20 rats). (a) Representative 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining of the cerebral infarct in comparable sections of rat brain from 4 groups at 24 h after reperfusion. (b) Quantification of infarct volume at 24 h after reperfusion. The EA and NBD peptide treatment significantly reduced the infarct volume, ^∗𝑃<0.05, ^#𝑃<0.05 versus I/R group. And the effect of NBD peptide was remarkable than EA group, ^†𝑃<0.05.
