“New progress has been made in the mechanism research of electroacupuncture treatment for Parkinson's disease (PD). Experts found that electroacupuncture with "Fengfu", "Taichong", and "Zusanli" can significantly improve the motor ability of PD mice by comparing the motor ability and protein expression levels in the midbrain substantia nigra between the electroacupuncture group and the sham electroacupuncture group. The mechanism may be through activating the SIRT3/PINK1/Parkin pathway, enhancing mitochondrial autophagy, promoting the expression of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) in the midbrain substantia nigra, reducing the aggregation of alpha synuclein (α - syn), and thus exerting neuroprotective effects. This discovery provides new ideas and methods for the treatment of PD.”
