Fig. 5

EA preconditioning down-regulated the expression of NOX4, not NOX2, after focal cerebral ischemia. a, b Real-time PCR shows the mRNA levels of NOX2 and NOX4 in the ischemic brain tissues 24 h after focal cerebral ischemia. (N = 4, ** P < 0.01 compared with the vehicle group). c Western blots of NOX2 and NOX4 in the ischemic cortex 24 h after focal cerebral ischemia. β-Actin was used as an internal control. d Densitometric quantification graph of the western blot bands of NOX4. Data are expressed as the means ± SEM (N = 4). *P < 0.05 when compared with the vehicle group (Veh)
