Effect of 2 Hz EA on α7nAChR expression in DRG of SNI rat.

Notes: (A) Relative level of α7nAChR mRNA expression. (B) Western blotted band of α7nAChR and relative level of α7nAChR protein expression. Samples were collected from the L4–L6 segment of DRG on day 3, 7, 14 and 21 after surgery. *P<0.05, **P<0.01, ***P<0.001, compared with Sham group, ^##P<0.01, ^###P<0.001, compared with SNI group. All data were expressed as the mean ± SEM, n=4–6 per group. One-way ANOVA followed by Newman–Keuls post-hoc test.
