Methods: 90 SD rats were randomly divided into normal control group (n=10), model group (n=40) and electroacupuncture (EA) group (n=40). Shuigou (GV 26), bilateral Neiguan (PC 6) and Zusanli (ST 36) were stimulated with EA for 20 min. Acute cerebral infarction (ACI) was produced by blocking blood flow of the cerebral middle artery. Changes of β EP content in the brain tissue after ACI and EA were detected by radioimmunoassay (RIA). Results: 24 hour after ACI, plasma β EP content increased significantly to 1120.41±33.79 ng/L from 401.72±266.47 ng/L before ACL. While after acupuncutre, the increased β EP content lowered evidently in comparison with that of model group but was close to that of normal group. Conclusion: Acupuncture may adjust the neuroendocrine disturbance in rats with acute cerebral infarction to minimize the injury of the brain tissue.展开更多
