Abstract:
According to the studies of several authors, both cyclic adenosine monophosphate (AMPc) and cyclic guanosine monophosphate (GMPc) were proved to play an important role in the regulatory effect of analgesic acupuncture. The practice of acupuncture reduced the AMPc level in the brain, while GMPc showed a significant increase. When AMPc level in the brain showed a decline, or GMPc level was elevated, the acupuncture analgesic effect was imported. The serum AMPc level was stable or declined after acupuncture
