The purpose of this study is to observe the effect of electroacupuncture at "Shenshu" point (U. B. -23 ) on the renal blood flow (RBF ) under the conditions of normal
glyceroLinduced renal ischemia and renal neurotorny. The RBF
which is measured by hydrogen gas clearance method
was chosen as index. The results are as follows:1. RBF is decreased by electroacupuncturing "Shenshu" point under both conditions of normal and glycerol-induced renal ischemia.2. After renal neurotomy
RBF is increased by electroacupuncturing "Shenshu"point.These facts suggest that the effects of electroacupuncture at "Shenshu" point relate to the renal nerve and body fluid
