Neuronal Regeneration after Electroacupuncture Treatment in Ischemia–Reperfusion-Injured Cerebral Infarction Rats

Figure 4

Effect of EA on nestin immunoreactive cells in ischemia–reperfusion-injured rats. The number of nestin immunoreactive cells increased in the control and sham groups in the penumbra and ischemic core areas, but decreased in those same areas in the EA1 and EA2 groups. Normal: normal group; Control: control group; Sham: sham group; EA1: 2 Hz EA treatment group; EA2: 15 Hz EA treatment group. Arrow means immunopositive cells.
