Figure 1From: Electroacupuncture pretreatment attenuates cerebral ischemic injury through α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor-mediated inhibition of high-mobility group box 1 release in rats Temporal expression of α7nAChR protein in the ischemic penumbra. (A) Western blot showing representative α7nAChR protein expression at 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h after reperfusion, in the ischemic penumbra and in the sham-operated group. (B) The density of α7nAChR protein expression relative to β-actin protein expression. Data are means ± SEM (n = 5 per time point per group). *P < 0.01 vs. Sham, #P < 0.05 vs. Con.Back to article page
