Effect of Repeated Electroacupuncture Intervention on Hippocampal ERK and p38MAPK Signaling in Neuropathic Pain Rats

Figure 3

Effect of EA on expression levels of hippocampal MEK, p-MEK proteins in different groups. Data are presented as mean ± SD (, compared with the sham control group; in each group). (a) Upper panel shows representative immunoblots of MEK protein in the 5 groups: (1) sham control group, (2) CCI group, (3) CCI + EA2D group, (4) CCI + EA1W group, and (5) CCI + EA2W group; lower histograms show the relative expression levels of MEK protein in the 5 groups. (b) The lower histograms show the relative expression levels of p-MEK1 and p-MEK2 proteins in the five groups; upper panel shows the representative immunoblots of MEK1/2 proteins and GAPDH in different groups.
