A Study on the Effect of Neurogenesis and Regulation of GSK3β/PP2A Expression in Acupuncture Treatment of Neural Functional Damage Caused by Focal Ischemia in MCAO Rats

Figure 1

Schematic diagram for methodologies: a total of 170 adult male SD rats were randomly divided into normal, sham-operated, model, no-acupuncture, and acupuncture group. Rats in model group euthanatized immediately after MCAO while other groups at 3 days for subsequent investigation of neural deficit score (NDS), cerebral blood flow (CBF), nestin mRNA expression, microarray analysis, and enzyme-linked immunoabsorbent assay. Another sets of rats sacrificed 7 days for immunopositive cell counting.
