(A and B) Effects of EPO overexpression on the protein levels of PI3K, Akt and p-Akt in hearts of rats subjected to AAC. Western blot analysis was performed to determine the protein levels of PI3K, Akt and p-Akt. The data are expressed the mean ± standard error of the mean (n=6 per group). *P<0.05 vs. the control group; #P<0.05 vs. the AAC only group; and &P<0.05 vs. the AAC + EPO group. EPO, erythropoietin; Akt, AKT serine/threonine kinase 1; p-, phosphorylated; AAC, abdominal aortic constriction; TLR4, Toll-like receptor 4.
