Panax notoginseng protects the rat brain function from traumatic brain injury by inhibiting autophagy via mammalian targeting of rapamycin
Figure 2. Compared with the Model group and Rapamycin group, autophagy protein was significantly decreased, and brain injury and brain function were significantly improved in the PI3K inhibitor group.
