Objective: To study possible mechanisms of Shangjuxu (ST37) and the large intestine.
Methods: Totally 40 SD rats were selected. The distension of end colon was used as injured afferent stimulus.
Objective: To explore the underlying mechanism of electroacupuncture for anti-aging.
Methods: Forty Sprague-Dawley rats (female and male take one half for each), 3-month old, were divided into a control group, a model group, a routine electroacupuncture group (current intensity, 1 mA) and a strong electroacupuncture group (current intensity, 4.5 mA), 10 rats in each group.
Article Synopsis
- The study aims to examine how electroacupuncture (EA) affects T cell immune function in older rats to understand its potential anti-aging mechanisms.
- Fifty SD rats were divided into five groups, including young control, aging model, EA, immunosuppression (IS), and EA + IS, with aging induced by D-galactose injections.
- Results showed that EA significantly improved T cell activity compared to the aging and IS groups, suggesting that EA might promote immune function and has anti-aging benefits.
