Luoyutong Treatment Promotes Functional Recovery and Neuronal Plasticity after Cerebral Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury in Rats

Figure 7

LYT (Luoyutong) induced upregulation of BDNF (brain derived neurotrophic factor) expression after MCAO (middle cerebral artery occlusion). Western blot detection and quantitative analysis of (a) BDNF expression 3 days after MCAO and (c) BDNF expression 14 days after MCAO. (b) Representative immunofluorescence images showing colocalization of BDNF (red) and NeuN (neuron-specific nuclear protein) (green) in the cortex. Blue DAPI staining indicates the nuclei. . versus Sham and versus MCAO.
