Attenuation of TRPV1 and TRPV4 Expression and Function in Mouse Inflammatory Pain Models Using Electroacupuncture

<table>TRPV1 and TRPV4 expression was increased in DRG (dorsal root ganglia) after intraplantar carrageenan injection and attenuated by electroacupuncture (EA) at the ST36 acupoint in mice. (a–c) Mouse DRGs were stained with TRPV1 antibody. (d–e) Mouse DRGs were stained with TRPV4 antibody. Arrows indicate positive antibody reactions. Scale bar = 50 <i>μ</i>m for all panels. Con: control; Carra: carrageenan-induced; EA: electroacupuncture at ST36.</table>
