Salvianolic Acid B Improves Postresuscitation Myocardial and Cerebral Outcomes in a Murine Model of Cardiac Arrest: Involvement of Nrf2 Signaling Pathway

Figure 6

Salvianolic acid B treatment activated the Nrf2 antioxidative pathway after cardiac arrest and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CA/CPR). (a) Expression of Keap1, nuclear and cytosolic Nrf2, HO-1, and NQO1 in the myocardium 3 hours following CA/CPR with or without Sal B treatment. (b–f) Western blot analysis and quantification of Keap1, nuclear and cytosolic Nrf2, HO-1, and NQO1 in the indicated groups. Histone H3 and GAPDH served as loading controls and results were converted to fold change relative to the sham-operated group ( per group). # or ## vs. sham-operated controls; vs. vehicle group.
