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

Figure 4

Most of the points on the BL meridian (red circles and blue squares) had significantly higher mean voltages than the corresponding reference points (black X; 𝑃 < . 0 5 ). The difference inmean voltages between the BL acupoint and the corresponding reference point, Rt BL16, was the biggest difference (yellow triangle), followed by Lt EBL-2, Rt BL27, Lt BL17, and Lt BL45 (yellow circles). However, the mean voltages for several points on the 2nd BL line, including Rt EBL-1, BL 47, BL 48, BL 50 and Lt BL 48, BL 49, BL 50, BL 52 (white X), were not significantly different from the values for the corresponding reference points.
