Figure 4From: 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 astressin, a CRH receptor antagonist, on EA-produced inhibition of edema (n = 7 per group, mean ± SEM). All rats were CFA-inflamed. Note that astressin prevented EA-produced inhibition of edema 5 hr post CFA. * P < 0.05 compared to vehicle plus sham EA.Back to article page
