The expression of Akt, p-Akt, and GSK-3 detected by Western blot assay in hippocampus of sham, VD, and VD+NaHS groups. a Quantitative analysis of protein expression of Akt. b Quantitative analysis of protein expression of p-Akt. c Quantitative analysis of protein expression of GSK-3α/β. d Quantitative analysis of protein expression of p-GSK-3β. e Quantitative analysis of the ratio of p-Akt/Akt. f Quantitative analysis of the ratio of p-GSK-3β/GSK-3β. Data are expressed as mean ± S.E.M. ^# p < 0.05, ^## p < 0.01 comparison between the sham vs.VD groups. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 comparison between the VD+NaHS vs. VD groups. n = 4 per group
