Effects of EA pretreatment on myocardial tissue and sympathetic nerves in MIRI rats. A Comparison of TTC-Evans blue double staining results of rat heart tissues in various groups. B The statistical analysis of area of myocardial infarction and area at risk in each group of rats. Data are expressed as the mean ± SD. ***p < 0.001, n = 6 rats/group. C Comparison of HE staining results of rat heart tissues in each group (magnification, × 20; scale bar, 100 µm). D The statistical analysis of NE and CK-MB values in myocardial tissue homogenates in each group of rats. Data are expressed as the mean ± SD. ***p < 0.001, n = 6 rats/group. E Comparison of original trajectory maps of sympathetic nerve activity in rats of various groups. F The statistical analysis of the frequency of sympathetic nerve discharges in each group of rats. Data are expressed as the mean ± SD. ***p < 0.001, **p < 0.01, n = 6 rats/group. G Comparison of NE and TH protein expression in each group of rats. H The statistical analysis of NE and TH protein expression in each group of rats. Data are expressed as the mean ± SD. ***p < 0.001, **p < 0.01, *p < 0.05, n = 3 rats/group
