Various treated BV-2 cell lysates (50 µg protein) were prepared and subjected to Western blot analysis by using antibodies specific for PTEN and phospho-PTEN, Akt and phospho-Akt, mTOR and phospho-mTOR as described in the <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0032195#s4" target="_blank">methods</a>. The relative protein levels were quantified by scanning densitometry and normalized to total Akt. The values shown are mean ± SEM of data from three independent experiments. <sup>#</sup>Significant compared with control alone, <i>p</i><0.05. *Significant compared with LPS alone, <i>p</i><0.05. <sup>▵</sup>Significant compared with resveratrol+LPS, <i>p</i><0.05.</p> 2013-02-20 08:40:45 activates signaling pathway bv-2 microglial
