Methods： The rat model of chronic exercise-induced fatigue was established by a 4-week increasing swimming training method The rats were randomly divided into a control group, a model group, a scalp acupoint group, and a body acupoint group. Preventive acupuncture methods were used. Changes of exhaustive swimming time, whole blood lactic acid （LA）, creatine kinase （CK）, blood urea nitrogen （BUN）, hemoglobin （Hb） and free tryptophan/branched chain amino acid （F-TRP/BCAA） of rats in each group before and after treatments were observed. Results： Compared with the body acupoint group, there were obvious advantages of the scalp point group in increasing Hb levels and lowering BUN and LA levels （P〈0.05）, as well as in aspects of lowering CK and F-TRP/BCAA levels （P〈0.01）. Conclusion： Scalp point acupuncture can improve the biochemical parameters in rats with exercise-induced fatigue, meanwhile, decrease the F-TRP/BCAA level, inhibit the 5-HT Droducine. and improve the rats＇ fatieue conseouentlv.展开更多
