Neuroprotective Effect of Moxibustion on Cerebral Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury in Rats by Downregulating NR2B Expression

Figure 3

TUNEL staining of rat brain tissue in each group. (a) TUNEL staining results of brain tissue in each group. TUNEL staining showed green apoptotic cells while DAPI staining showed blue normal cells. The merged images included green apoptotic cells and blue normal cells. (b) Statistical analysis of the apoptosis rate on the injured side of the brain in each group.  < 0.01 and  < 0.001 compared to the control group; ^### < 0.001 versus the I/R group; ^△△△ < 0.001 versus the I/R + moxibustion group; ^※※※ < 0.001 versus the I/R + Ro25-6981 group.
