Acupuncture regulated part of NADPH oxidase subunits expression.

The expression of different NADPH oxidase subunits at day 14 after acupuncture treatment in WKY, WKY + Sham, 2VO, 2VO + Acu and 2VO + Non-acu groups. (a–c) The protein level of p47phox, p67phox, gp91phox and its corresponding GAPDH or β-actin bands were determined using Western blot analysis. The following histogram shows the quantitative densitometry of the blots in each group (n = 6 for each group). (d) Graphic presentation shows the expression of gp91phox mRNA level at day 14 after acupuncture treatment analyzed by quantitative RT-PCR (n = 6 for each group).Values are means ± SEM .*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01.
