Expression of Na+/K+ adenosine triphosphatase (Na+/K+-ATPase) in rats with pMCAO and in sham operated control rats. (A) Immunoblot was reacted with affinity purified anti-Na+/K+-ATPase antibody, revealing a 110 KDa product. (B) Densitometric analysis revealed that focal cerebral ischemia produced a significant decrease of Na+/K+-ATPase expression in the penumbra 24 h after pMCAO as compared to sham-operated rats (78±6%, n=4, *P<0.05).
