CRPHF increased the protein levels of p-ERK and BDNF in the brain of diabetic rats.

Notes: Top panels (A) and (B) are representative images of immunoblots of 42/44 kDa p-ERK and 28 kDa BDNF; lower panels (C) and (D) show the protein level of p-ERK and BDNF in the brain of rats. All data are shown as mean ± standard deviation; n=6 per group. ###P<0.0001 versus the N group and **P<0.01 and ***P<0.0001 versus the D group.

Abbreviations: BDNF, brain-derived neurotrophic factor; CRPHF, combination of Radix Puerariae and hawthorn fruit; D, diabetic control; DC, diabetic-given-CRPHF; N, normal control; NC, normal-given-CRPHF; p-ERK, phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase.
