Effect of sevoflurane exposure in mid-gestation on VEGF, PI3K, AKT and p-AKT levels in the fetal brain 6 hours after anesthesia.

(A) Western blots for VEGF, PI3K, AKT and p-AKT in the fetal brain. (B) Quantitation of VEGF, PI3K, AKT and p-AKT levels in the fetal brain in the three groups. Data are expressed as the mean ± SD (n = 8 mothers, with 3 rats per mother as replicates). *P < 0.05, vs. C GROUP (one-way analysis of variance followed by the Bonferroni post hoc test). C GROUP: Control group; L GROUP: low-concentration sevoflurane (2%) group; H GROUP: high-concentration sevoflurane (3.5%) group. VEGF: Vascular endothelial growth factor; PI3K: phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase; p-AKT: phospho-AKT.
