Figure 2. Acupuncture suppressed NADPH oxidase-derived ROS generation and attenuated cerebral ischemic injury.

Figure 2

Infarct sizes in WKY + Sham, 2VO, 2VO + Acu and 2VO + Non-acu groups. (a,b) Photograph of a typical brain slice TTC staining at day 14 after acupuncture treatment and statistical analysis of lesion sizes. Red area is live tissue; white area is dead or dying tissue. (c) The ROS generation was determined by DHE staining at day 14 after acupuncture treatment in WKY, WKY + Sham, 2VO, 2VO + Acu and 2VO + Non-acu groups. (d) Graphic presentation shows the the NADPH oxidase activity among WKY, WKY + Sham, 2VO, 2VO + Acu and 2VO + Non-acu groups. (e,f) Representative images and quantitative graph for Nissl staining in hippocampus’ CA1 region. Values are means ± SEM (n = 10 for each group). *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001.
