Abstract:
It was suggested that the effects of applying acupuncture at Kyoku-sen (Chuchuan) mimicked point of human to reduce footpad edema on the serotonin-dosed leg, which has been induced by dosing of serotonin, were due to the activation of superoxide dismutase in subcutaneous tissues of the point at Kyoku-sen mimicked point of human and footpad edema area on the serotonin-dosed leg. These data indicate that the antiinflammatory effect of acupuncture has a superoxide dismutase-like action.
