2,3,5,4-Tetrahydroxystilbene-2-O-beta-D-glucoside Reverses Stress-Induced Depression via Inflammatory and Oxidative Stress Pathways

Figure 3

P-Akt plays an important role in the antidepressant effect of THSG. Tissue lysates were subjected to Western blot analysis. Bands corresponding to the p-Akt and p-Erk proteins in the hippocampus are shown in (a). The relative band densities of p-Akt and p-Erk in the hippocampus are shown in (b, c). Bands corresponding to the p-Akt and p-Erk proteins in the PFC are shown in (d). The relative band densities of p-Akt and p-Erk in the hippocampus are shown in (e, f). The protein band densities were analyzed using the ImageJ software. Values are expressed as the mean ± SEM (). For statistical significance, versus the control + Veh group; versus the CRS + Veh group.
