Western blot analysis of the NF-κB p65 and IκBα protein expression in the sham group, I/R group, EA group, and NBD group in ischemic brain tissue (5 rats in each group per time point, total 80 rats). (a)-(b) Representative Western blot images showing bands of NF-κB p65 and IκBα proteins in the cytoplasm and nucleus at 6 h, 12 h, 24 h, and 48 h. (c)–(f) Comparison of the mean intensity ratio of immunoblotting in these groups at each timepoint. (a), (c), (e) The NF-κB p65 and IκBα protein expression in cytoplasm. (b), (d), (f) The NF-κB p65 and IκBα protein expression in the nucleus.
