Fig. 6. Western blot study for BDNF and MAP2. Western blot study revealed that BDNF was more increased in group C and D than group B on post-PCI 2nd week, more increased in group C than group B on post-PCI 5th week, and MAP2 was more increased in group C and D than group B on post-PCI 2nd week, and more increased in group C than group B on post-PCI 5th week. No expressional differences were seen in BDNF and MAP2 among all groups on post-PCI 8th week. Group A, normal; Group B, PCI without any stimulation intervention; Group C, PCI with SA; Group D, PCI with rTMS.
