Electroacupuncture at PC6 (Neiguan) Improves Extracellular Signal-Regulated Kinase Signaling Pathways Through the Regulation of Neuroendocrine Cytokines in Myocardial Hypertrophic Rats

Figure 6

EA improves ERK signaling pathways through the regulation of neuroendocrine cytokines in myocardial hypertrophic rats. The proposed hypothetic mechanism of acupuncture affecting the heart acupuncture indeed improves the cardiac function in MH, and this effect has a close relation with ERK signaling pathway through regulating the role of neuroendocrine cytokines.
