Effect of electroacupuncture (EA) preconditioning on mitochondrial ultrastructure in the brains of rats with focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (IR) injury.

Mitochondrial (arrows) morphological structure observed under the transmission electron microscope in the ischemic penumbra at 24 hours post-reperfusion or sham surgery. Scale bars: 0.5 μm. (B) Quantitative parameters for mitochondrial morphological changes, including aspect ratio, vacuolation ratio and mean area density of vacuolated mitochondria. Data are presented as the mean ± SD (n = 4 rats per group), and analyzed by one-way analysis of variance followed by the post hoc Student-Newman-Keuls test. **P < 0.01, vs. sham group; #P < 0.05, vs. EA 24 hour group. I: Sham; II: EA 24 hours; III: IR 24 hours.
