Effects of HRS treatment on protein expressions in septic rats 48 h after LPS challenge. A Representative images of protein expression levels by western blot analysis in each group. B–E Statistical representation of relative protein expressions of GFAP, IBA-1, BCL-2 and BAX; respectively. All data are presented as mean ± SD ****p < 0.0001, ***p < 0.001, **p < 0.005, *p < 0.05.
