Effect of Electro-acupuncture on Nitric Oxide Synthase Expression in Rat Brain after Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion[J]. Acupuncture research, 1998, (2): 126-130.DOI:
The received view is that nitric oxide (NO)gives the protective or destructive effect according to the differen cellular source of NO and different stage of evolution of ischemia. In present work
we studied the reationship between different types of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) and electro-acupunc-ture (EA) effect on acufe cerebral ischemia in rats with transient cerebral middie forry occlusion (MCAO). The results show that the neuroprotective effect of EA may be related to inhibition of nNOS mRNA and iNOS mRNA over-expression
