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

Figure 2

Acupuncture effects on nociceptive responses to noxious cold/hot plates after carrageenan induction. (a and b) Four groups of mice were exposed to a hot plate at 50°C, and licking and jumping latencies were analyzed. (c and d) The four groups were exposed to a cold plate at 4°C, and the rearing and licking numbers were analyzed. ^∗∗𝑃<0.01 compared with the control group. ^##𝑃<0.01 for carra + sham compared with carra + EA groups (𝑛=8 per group). Con: control; carra: carrageenan-induced; EA: electroacupuncture at ST36; sham: EA at nonacupoint.
