Haemodynamic Changes in the Superior Mesenteric Artery Induced by Acupuncture Stimulation on the Lower Limbs

Figure 5

Percentage change in cardiac index following needle insertion (ins) and stimulation (stim) on ST36, LR3, the non-acupoint, and no-stimulation. Values represent the mean and corresponding standard error (SEM). ^{*, **}Indicate statistical significance (𝑃<0.05, 𝑃<0.01, resp.) relative to the resting condition in the no-stimulation setup.
