RIPC activated the Notch and NF-κB signaling pathways in the ischemic penumbra after MCAO/R. a Protein bands of NICD, Hes1, IKKβ, NF-κB p65, and β-actin from Western blot analysis. b RIPC significantly upregulated the expression of proteins related to the Notch and NF-κB signaling pathways. Data are presented as the means ± SEM. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, vs. the MCAO/R group; ^#P < 0.05 vs. the sham group
