The expression of p38 MAPK and p-P38 MAPK protein in SG of each group using Western blots. a Representative photos of p38 MAPK and p-P38 MAPK protein expression in SG. b Histogram shows the ratio of P38 MAPK to β-actin. c Histogram shows the ratio of p38 MAPK to P38 MAPK. The IOD of p-P38 MAPK expression in the MI group was obviously increased compared to the Con, Sham, MI + BBG, MI + NONRATT021972 si, and MI + P2X₇ si groups (p < 0.01). No difference was found between the Con, Sham, MI + BBG, MI + NONRATT021972 si, and MI + P2X₇ si groups (p > 0.05). There was also no difference between the MI group and M + SC si group (p > 0.05). $\overline{x}\pm s$, n = 6. **p < 0.01, compared to the Con group; ##p < 0.01 vs. the MI group
