Fig. 3. Effects of electroacupuncture on excitatory amino acid transporter type 2 (EAAT2) expression in the frontal cortex area 1 of rats after the middle cerebral arterial occlusion (MCAO).

Fig. 3

The brain tissues were harvested for Western blotting at 2 h after the MCAO. Representative Western blots are shown on the top panel and the graphic presentation of the EAAT2 protein abundance quantified by integrating the volume of autoradiograms from 4 rats for each experimental condition is shown in the low panel. Values in graphs are the means ± S.E.M. * P < 0.05 compared with control rats inhaling oxygen 30 min each day for 5 days. ^ P < 0.05 compared with rats after MCAO only. GAPDH: glyceraldehydes 3-phosphate dehydrogenase; EA: electroacupuncture.
