The Effect of Electroacupuncture versus Manual Acupuncture through the Expression of TrkB/NF-κB in the Subgranular Zone of the Dentate Gyrus of Telomerase-Deficient Mice

Figure 4

Expression level of ERK in the hippocampus of WT and Terc−/− mice ( = 8 per subgroup) was detected by western blot assay. Blots were reprobed for expression of β-actin to control for loading and transfer. Data were expressed as mean ± SEM. The degree of ERK activation was represented as the ratio of p-ERK/ERK. The result demonstrated that the expression of ERK/p-ERK shows nothing significantly changed in the subgroups for the 2 types of mice, even in the ratio of p-ERK/ERK.
