Effects of ADP on EA-mediated regulation of PKC pathway and MAPK/ERK1/2 pathway. (a)–(d) The effect of ADP on EA-mediated relief in AWR scores (20, 40, 60, and 80 mmHg CRD stimulation). (e) Expression of PKC protein in the L6-S2 segment dorsal spinal cord, n = 8. (f) Expression of PKC mRNA in the spinal cord, n = 8. (g) Expression of pERK1/2 protein in the dorsal spinal cord, n = 8. (h) ERK1/2 mRNA level in the dorsal spinal cord, n = 8. (i) GFAP protein in spinal dorsal, n = 8. (j) GFAP mRNA level in the dorsal spinal cord, n = 8.
