Acupuncture Stimulation Alleviates Corticosterone-Induced Impairments of Spatial Memory and Cholinergic Neurons in Rats

Figure 9

The PCR bands and their relative intensities for brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and cAMP-response element-binding (CREB) protein in the hippocampus of rats that received chronic CORT administration. Data were analyzed via separate one-way ANOVAs followed by Tukey’s post hoc test. *𝑃<0.05 and ***𝑃<0.001   versus the CON group; ^#𝑃<0.05 and ^##𝑃<0.01  versus the CORT group. Vertical bars indicate SE.
