Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how electroacupuncture (EA) affects irisin secretion and its role in recovering brain function and blood vessel health after a stroke in rats.
- The research showed that EA increased irisin levels significantly after seven days and improved neurobehavioral function while reducing brain damage and enhancing blood flow and vascular growth.
- These beneficial effects of EA were weakened when the gene responsible for irisin production was silenced, suggesting that irisin plays a critical role in EA’s therapeutic effects on brain recovery.
