Effects of Acupuncture-Moxibustion on the Contents of Monoamine Transmitters in the Striatum of Rats in Parkinson's Disease[J]. Acupuncture research, 1998, (1): 44-48.DOI:
in striatum corpus of Parkinson's disease rat model induced by 6-hydrox-ydopamine (6-OHDA) before and after acupuncture and moxibustion therapy were compared. Also the different effects of various acupuncture stimulation factors were observed. The results showed that the levels of three transmitters were significantly elevated after the treatment of Acu. & Mox. And among the treatment groups
the effects of Baihui and Dazhui points were better than Siguan group selected from limb points. The authors consider that Acu. or Mox. is a good way to raise monoaminotransmitters in rat brain
therefore it conduces to the recovery of Parkinson's disease.
