doi: 10.1177/09645284241298716
Figure Lengend Snippet: Effects of electroacupuncture (EA) on the level of norepinephrine (NE), post-receptor protein kinase A (PKA) signaling pathway and expression levels of L-type voltage-gated calcium channel α1 C (Cav1.2), serine phosphorylated 16-phospholamban (p-PLB s16 ) and sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca 2+ -adenosine triphosphate (ATP)ase 2a (SERCA2a) in myocardial tissues in vivo . (a) NE levels in myocardial tissue (n = 3 per group). (b) Representative Western blot images of stimulatory G protein (Gs), phosphorylated PKA (p-PKA), Cav1.2, p-PLB s16 and SERCA2a. (c–g) Quantification of Gs, p-PKA, Cav1.2 p-PLB s16 and SERCA2a protein expression levels (n = 3 per group). (h, i) Levels of adenylate cyclase (AC) and cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) in myocardial tissue (n = 3 per group). Data are mean ± SD. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01.
