Abstract
Neuroendocrine Mechanisms of Acupuncture
Highlights
“Effects of electroacupuncture on N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor-related signaling pathway in the spinal cord of normal rats” by H.-N
Kim provides evidence that calcium influx by N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor activation may play an important role in EA analgesia of normal rats through modulation of the phosphorylation of spinal phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) and cAMP response elementbinding protein (CREB)
Chang showed the effect of EA in relieving inflammatory pain and the possible involved mechanism
Summary
“Effects of electroacupuncture on N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor-related signaling pathway in the spinal cord of normal rats” by H.-N. Fengxia Liang,[1] Rui Chen,[2] and Edwin L. There is a growing focus on the critical role of the brain and a need to explain how acupuncture affects endocrine function through the CNS (central nervous system). This special issue was developed to stimulate the continuing efforts in defining and promoting the neuroendocrine mechanism of acupuncture.
