Figure 4

The relative expression of BDNF, NGF, and NT3/4 in different groups (mean ± SD, ). The expression of BDNF, NGF, and NT3/4 was increased significantly after CCI. The expression of BDNF and NT3/4 was decreased after repeated EA treatment, and the expression of NGF was decreased immediately after only one EA treatment: compared with the normal group; compared with the CCI group; compared with the CCI+EA1D group; compared with the CCI+EA2D group.
