Effect of calcitriol treatment on VDR expression. (A) Western blot analysis was used to assess the levels of VDR in the cortex of rats at 3 days after GCI. (B) The quantitative expression levels were determined by densitometry relative to the GAPDH bands. Values are expressed as the mean ± standard error (n=5 for each group). The results indicated that the protein levels of VDR increased in the GCI group and treatment with calcitriol dramatically increased the protein expression of VDR. *P<0.05 vs. Sham group; #P<0.05 vs. GCI group. GCI, global cerebral ischemia; VDR, vitamin D receptor.
