Abstract:
The experiments were carried out in mice to investigate the effects of acupuncturing Tsusanli (AT) on physical work capacity and neuroendocrino-immunological system. Mice were divided into four groups. The general health condition of the animals during the experimental period, the swimming duration, the content of hemoglobin and T, C, T/C, C 3, C 4 of alexin in the serum, the coefficients of spleen and thymus were observed. Results showed that AT could effectively improve the general health condition of the mice and strengthen the mice endurance as manifested by the prolonged swimming time,the increased content of hemoglobin and T, T/C, C 3, C 4 of alexin in the serum, and the higher coefficient of spleen and thymus gland. These indicated that AT was effective in elimination of fatigue and improving the endurance performance,showing the possibility of its appllication in the field of sports medicine.
