电针增强运动耐力的效应及其机理分析

EFFECT OF ELECTRO-ACUPUNCTURE ON IMPROVING SPORTSENDURANCE AND ITS MECHANISM ANALYSIS

电针“足三里”,可显著增强小鼠的运动耐力。去肾上腺后,电针效应消失。去肾上腺髓质或去睾丸后,电针效应仍出现。说明电针增强运动耐力的效应与肾上腺皮质系统功能密切相关,而与肾上腺髓质系统或睾丸功能无明显关系。电针有可能成为增强人体运动耐力的一种手段。

<ABSTRACT> The sports endurance of mice were obviously improved by electro- acupuncture at 'Zusanli'. However,this effect of electro-acupuncture disap- peared in mice only after adrenalectomy, but not after adreno-medullectomy or orchiectomy. The results indicate that theis effect of electro-acupuncture is intimately related only with function of adrenal cortex, but not with that of adrenal or testis. The authors suggest that electro-acupuncture might be used also as a measure sports endurance.
