EA treatment alleviated inflammation and autophagy in MCAO rats. A ELISA measured levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β and IL-18) in rats. B RT-qPCR detected NLRP3, mTOR, and Beclin-1 levels. C Western blotting detected NLRP3, LC3 II/LC3 I, p62, mTOR, and Beclin-1 levels. D Transmission electron microscopy observed the number of autophagosomes in brain tissue cells (Scale bar = 1 μm). **p < 0.01 compared to the Sham group. ##p < 0.01 compared to the MCAO + Sham EA group
