Effect of taurine on ACR-induced Akt activation in vivo and in vitro. (a) In the in vivo experiment, Akt and p-Akt levels were detected with Western blot. (b) The effects of TAU on the levels of Akt and p-Akt in the spinal cord of ACR-intoxicated rats were detected with Western blot and the density of blots was quantified. DRG was treated with ACR (0.1 mM) or saline for 24 h and then with or without taurine (5 mM).
aP < 0.05, compared with the control group; bP < 0.05, compared with the ACR group.
