Acupuncture at homotopic acupoints exerts dual effects on bladder motility in anesthetized rats
BACKGROUND In Chinese medicine, dual effects on target organs are considered a primary characteristic of acupoint. Acupoints may be classified as heterotopic or homotopic in terms of spinal segmental innervation: homotopic acupoints contain afferent innervation in the same segment from which efferent fibers innervate target visceral organs, and heterotopic acupoints utilize different spinal seg...
متن کاملSpinal effects of oxytocin on uterine motility in anesthetized rats.
The rat uterus receives an innervation from the lumbosacral and thoracolumbar segments of the spinal cord. These segments receive descending oxytocinergic projections from the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus. We tested the hypothesis that oxytocin regulates uterine motility through a spinal site of action. Oxytocin was administered in anesthetized female rats either intrathecally at...
متن کاملElectro-acupuncture stimulation improves motor disorders in Parkinsonian rats.
Electro-acupuncture (EA) is believed to be effective for alleviating motor symptoms in patients with Parkinson's disease. In a rat hemiparkinsonian model induced by unilateral transection of the medial forebrain bundle (MFB), the effects of EA stimulation were investigated. EA stimulation at a high frequency (100 Hz) significantly reduced apomorphine-induced rotational behavior. Tyrosine hydrox...
متن کاملDual effects of acupuncture on gastric motility in conscious rats.
The effects of manual acupuncture on gastric motility were investigated in 35 conscious rats implanted with a strain gauge transducer. Twenty (57.1%) rats showed no cyclic groupings of strong contractions (type A), whereas 15 (42.9%) rats showed the phase III-like contractions of the migrating motor complex (type B) in the fasting gastric motility. Acupuncture at the stomach (ST)-36 (Zusanli), ...
متن کاملEffect of acupuncture-like stimulation on cortical cerebral blood flow in anesthetized rats.
The effect of acupuncture-like stimulation of various areas (cheek, forepaw, upper arm, chest, back, lower leg, hindpaw, perineum) on cortical cerebral blood flow (CBF) was examined in anesthetized rats. An acupuncture needle (diameter, 340 microm) was inserted into the skin and underlying muscles at a depth of about 5 mm and twisted to the right and left once a second for 1 min. CBF of the cor...
