Effects of Fructus mume Extract on MAPK and NF-κB Signaling and the Resultant Improvement in the Cognitive Deficits Induced by Chronic Cerebral Hypoperfusion

Figure 5

Treatment with F. mume prevented increases of p-ERK in the chronic BCCAo hippocampus. (a) Representative western blot of p-ERK (top) and actin (bottom). (b) Levels of p-ERK were increased in the hippocampi with chronic BCCAo relative to the control (*), and p-ERK levels were not increased in the hippocampi treated with F. mume, compared to those in the BCCAo hippocampus (#). (c) Representative western blot of ERK (top) and actin (bottom) (*). (d) No differences in ERK expression were detected among the groups.
