Neurotrophic Signaling Factors in Brain Ischemia/Reperfusion Rats: Differential Modulation Pattern between Single-Time and Multiple Electroacupuncture Stimulation

Table 1

Differentiation changes (greater than 2.0-fold) of gene expression in MCAO rats at day 1 (Rep 1 d) and day 7 (Rep 7 d) of reperfusion in ischemia (isc) or ischemia plus EA (EA) group. Sham, sham-operation group.
