Figure 7
Comparison of Akt, p-Akt, PI3K, and p-PI3K protein expressions in vascular tissues among the groups (±s, n = 6). (a) Western-blotting patterns of Akt, p-Akt, PI3K, p-PI3K protein. (b) Comparison of Akt, p-Akt protein expressions. (c) Comparison of PI3K, p-PI3K protein expressions: 1. Normal. 2. Model. 3. Astragalus. 4. Angelica. 5. Astragalus–Angelica 1:1. 6. Astragalus–Angelica 5:1. 7. Atorvastatin. ※P < 0.05, ※※P < 0.01 versus normal group; ■P < 0.05, ■■P < 0.01 versus model group; □P < 0.05, □□P < 0.01 versus Atorvastatin group.
