Influence of Electroacupuncture Stimulation of Delivery-facilitating Acupoints with Different Stimulating Parameters on Serum Endocrine Hormones of Late-stage Pregnant Rats
Objective To observe the influence of electroacupuncture(EA) stimulation of "Hegu"(LI 4) and "Sanyinjiao"(SP 6;a classical delivery-facilitating acupoint recipe) at different parameters on endocrine hormone levels of late-stage pregnant rats
so as to find the better stimulation parameters for delivery facilitation.Methods Ninety-six female Wistar rats were randomly divided into eight groups: normal control(normal)
pregnancy(model)
EA-15 Hz
EA-30 Hz
EA-50 Hz
EA-2 Hz/15 Hz
EA-2 Hz/30 Hz and EA-2 Hz/50 Hz
with 12 rats in each group except EA-30 Hz group(n=10).EA stimulation(0.2 to 0.3 mA) was delivered to bilateral LI 4 for 20 min and then bilateral SP 6 for 5 min(25 min).The contents of serum estradiol(E2)
progesterone(P) and prostaglandin E2(PGE2) were detected by ELISA.Results Compared with the normal group
se-rum E2
P and PGE2 contents were significantly increased in the pregnancy model group(P<0.01)
and E2 / P level was down-regulated mildly(P>0.05).Compared with the model group
the contents of serum E2 in the EA-15 Hz
EA-30 Hz
EA-50 Hz
EA-2 Hz/15 Hz and EA-2 Hz/50 Hz groups
serum PGE2 contents in the EA-15 Hz
EA-30 Hz and EA-2 Hz/50 Hz groups
and E2/P levels in the EA-15 Hz
EA-30 Hz
EA-50 Hz and EA-2 Hz/50 Hz groups were significantly increased(P<0.01
P<0.05)
whereas serum P contents in the EA-15 Hz
EA-30 Hz
EA-50 Hz and EA-2 Hz/50 Hz groups were significantly down-regulated(P<0.01
P<0.05).The effects of EA-2 Hz/50 Hz group were significantly superior to those of EA-2 Hz/15 Hz and EA-2 Hz/30 Hz groups in raising serum E2 and E2/P levels(P<0.05
P<0.01).No significant differences were found among the EA-15 Hz
EA-30 Hz
EA-50 Hz and EA-2 Hz/50 Hz groups in raising serum E2
PGE2 and E2/P levels
and among the EA-30 Hz
EA-50 Hz and EA-2 Hz/50 Hz groups in lowering serum P levels(P>0.05).It displayed that the effects of EA at 15 Hz
30 Hz and 2 Hz/50 Hz on the abovementioned 4 indexes were relatively better.Conclusion EA of LI 4 and SP 6 at 15 Hz
30 Hz and 2 Hz/50 Hz can effectively up-regulate serum E2
PGE2 and E2/P levels and down-regulate serum P content in pregnancy rats
which may contribute to its effect in promoting labor.
