Effect of Electroacupuncture on BDNF Expression at Ischemia Cortex and Infarct Volume after Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion in Rat
The model of reversible middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAo) was used to study effect of electroacupuncture (EA) on brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) expression at ischemia cortex and infarct volume after MCAo in rats. MCA was occluded for 90 min and one hour EA was applied immediately at points of “Shuigou” and “Baihui” after cerebral ischemia. In accumulated EA group one hour EA was applied everyday till the rats were decapitated. After reperfusion 7 days
behaviour assessment
immuohistochemistry and TTC staining were applied. Results suggested that BDNF immunoreactive cells expressed mainly in the peripheral cortex of the infarction. In accumulated EA group the expression of BDNF was higher than that in ischemia and EA group (P<0.05)
