艾灸和针刺对实验性胃溃疡大鼠NO含量的变化及L-NNA抑制作用的影响
摘要
In this paper
we analysed the changes of NO contents in serum and gastric mucosa in experimental ulcer rats treated by moxibustion
and observed its effect on L-NNA inhibition. The results showed:NO contents in gastric ulcer rats were increased
especially the contents of NO in gastric mucosa werehigher than that of the normal control group
P< 0. 05. After moxibustion the NO level was decreased
tending to the normal level
among them the changes of NO in serum had statistical significance
P< 0.05. By injection of L-NNA the NO contents in gastric ulcer rats showed a tendency to decrease. Aftermoxibustion no was more decressed. It suggested that NO participating in the treatment of moxibustiongastric ulcer might be due to a protection against the damage of gastric mucosa caused by the propertiesof vascular relaxation. Moreover
moxibustion could strengthen L-NNA inhibition on the synthesis ofNO
