Enhancement of immune cytokines and splenic CD4+ T cells by electroacupuncture at ST36 acupoint of SD rats
Fig 5
The concentration of Ca2+ in spleen cells and serum.
(A) The values mentioned in the upper corner of each flow cytometric dot-plot indicate the concentration of Ca2+ in spleen cells. Representative dot-plots of three independent experiments are shown. The concentration of Ca2+ increased in spleen cells of the rats treated by electroacupuncture at the ST36 acupoint. (B) The concentration of Ca2+ in serum of the rats in each group was detected. Electroacupuncture at the ST36 acupoint caused the decreasing of Ca2+ content in serum. *P<0.05 for ST36 acupoint group versus control group and non acupoint group.
