Figure 5.

Effects of MAE-P6 on the expression of Akt, NF-κB and VEGFA. Rats were sacrificed 14 days after the burn treatment and tissue lysates were prepared to determine the protein expression levels of Akt, p-Akt, NF-κB and VEGFA using western blot analysis. Data are expressed as the mean ± standard deviation. ^##P<0.05 vs. the control group, **P<0.05 vs. the model group, ^&&P<0.05 vs. the MAE-P6 group. p-Akt, phosphorylated-Akt; NF-κB, nuclear factor-κB; VEGFA, vascular endothelial growth factor A; MAE-P6, aqueous extract of maggots-compound 6.
