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

Figure 4

Analysis of the relative expression of apoptosis-related proteins in brain tissue in each group. (a) Protein expression of cleaved caspase-3, Bcl-2, and Bax on the ischemic side in each group. (b) Relative protein expression of Bcl-2, Bax, and cleaved caspase-3 on the ischemic side in each group.  < 0.001 compared to the control group; ^## < 0.01 and ^### < 0.001 versus the I/R group; ^△ < 0.05, ^△△ < 0.01, and ^△△△ < 0.001 versus the I/R + moxibustion group; ^※※※ < 0.001 versus the I/R+ Ro25-6981 group.
