Figure 3

Box plots displaying the mean heart rate (HRmean) of the 10 rats. There are no significant differences. The ends of the boxes define the 25th and 75th percentiles with a line at the median and error bars defining the 10th and 90th percentiles. The different measurement phases (a–c; compare with Figure 2) and acupuncture points (auricular acupuncture: Heart point, PC6, CV12, and ST36) are indicated.
