The Ameliorating Effect of Myrrh on Scopolamine-Induced Memory Impairments in Mice

Figure 4

Effect of AEM on Akt and ERK phosphorylation in brain hippocampus. The hippocampus dissected from the randomly selected mice under different groups was used for Western blot analysis. The protein levels of phosphorylated Akt, total Akt, phosphorylated ERK, and total ERK were detected using specific antibodies. The representative blot (a) and the graph of quantification (b and c) were shown (). Quantifications were performed using densitometry. The results were normalized to total Akt or total ERK and expressed relative to the phospho-Akt or phosphor-ERK level of scopolamine-treated group. Each bar shown is the mean fold increase above control ± SEM and the results are considered to be statistically significant at , , and .
