Figure Lengend Snippet: The protein of mNGF expression in the M1 and various cognitive-related brain regions as measured by ELISA. A , B , C , D , E , F The NGF + SMES group had significant effect except PrL and MS. The results are demonstrated as the mean ± SEM ( n = 5, each group). * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01, *** P < 0.001, and **** P < 0.0001 vs. NGF + SMES group. G The hippocampus had significant effect. The results are demonstrated as the mean ± SEM ( n = 5, each group). ** P < 0.01, *** P < 0.001, and **** P < 0.0001 vs. hippocampus group. a , b , c , d , e , f Compared with the MCAO/R group, NGF group, or NGF + SMES + PDTC group, NGF + SMES group had significant permeation effect in the M1, brain stem, and hippocampus. The results are demonstrated as the mean ± SEM ( n = 5 or 8, each group). * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01, and **** P < 0.0001 vs. NGF + SMES group. g The hippocampus had significant effect. The results are demonstrated as the mean ± SEM ( n = 6, each group). **** P < 0.0001 vs. hippocampus group
Article Snippet: Following the manufacturer’s protocol, the NGF concentration in each brain sample was measured using a Mouse Beta-NGF Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) Kit (NBP2-81189, Novus).
