Electrical Characterization of Proposed Transpositional Acupoints on the Urinary Bladder Meridian in a Rat Model

<table>Mean voltage for each BL acupoint on the back in a rat model. The values for the BL acupoints ranged from 2.1124 (Lt BL52) to 2.761 (Rt BL16) while the values for the corresponding reference points ranged from 1.879 (level with T8) to 2.1969 (level with T4). The biggest difference in the mean voltages between a BL acupoint and a corresponding reference point was 0.8386 for Rt BL16 (level with T6) while the lowest value was 0.1321 for Lt BL 52 (level with L2).</table>
