Figure 3From: Electroacupuncture activates corticotrophin-releasing hormone-containing neurons in the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalammus to alleviate edema in a rat model of inflammation Effects of ACTH (11–24) on EA-produced inhibition of hyperalgesia (n = 7 per group, mean ± SEM). Note that EA significantly inhibited hyperalgesia 2 h post-CFA, and ACTH(11–24) did not prevent EA-produced inhibition of hyperalgesia. * P < 0.05 compared to vehicle plus sham EA.Back to article page
