Effects of Combined Electroacupuncture and Medication Therapy on the RhoA/ROCK-2 Signaling Pathway in the Striatal Region of Rats Afflicted by Cerebral Ischemia

CONCLUSION: The protective mechanism underlying the therapeutic efficacy of EA combined with Gas against cerebral ischemic striatal injury in rats may be associated with the inhibition of the activation of the RhoA/ROCK-2 signaling pathway. Importantly, the therapeutic effects observed with the combination of electroacupuncture and medication were superior to those achieved with EA alone or the sole administration of Gas.PMID:38029846 | DOI:10.1016/j.brainresbull.2023.110828
