Figure 5From: 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 on EA-produced inhibition of hyperalgesia (n = 7 per group, mean ± SEM). Note that EA significantly inhibited hyperalgesia 2 h post-CFA, and astressin partially prevented EA-produced inhibition of hyperalgesia. * P < 0.05 compared to vehicle plus sham EA.Back to article page
