Fifty-six rabbits were used and divided into 5 groups—hemorrhagic shock(Bleeding 20ml/kg (?)ill the blood pressure dropped to 40-50 mmHg)

sham operation and normal control.Two indexes were used—glycogen and phosphorylase

to obsevve the myocardial changes of glycogen and the enzyme concerned with glycogen metabolism

investagating how the acupuncture at “Renzhong” point acts upon the hemorrhagic shock's heart.It was shown that hemorrhagic shock decrease the glycogen qauntity of the myocardium (in comparison with normal group P<0.001)

and acupuncture at“Renzhong” point increace the qauntity of glycogen up th the normal standarde(in comparison with shock group P<0.001

with normal group P>0.4).The results in 2 acupuncture groups were nearly the same.It was the same with phosphorylase activity

that means

acupuncture at “Renzhong” point can increace the glycogen qauntity and phosphorylase activity of the shock's myocardium

this will make the heart more energetic and the rabbit living longer time.
