Proteomic Analysis Reveals the Deregulation of Inflammation-Related Proteins in Acupuncture-Treated Rats with Asthma Onset

Changes in the pulmonary resistance (RL) within 10 min after challenge in NC (𝑛=15, sensitized and challenged with saline), AS (𝑛=14, sensitized and challenged with OVA), AA (𝑛=12, sensitized and challenged with OVA + acupuncture treatment) and NA (𝑛=15, sensitized and challenged with saline + acupuncture treatment).The changes in the RL are expressed as differential values subtracted from the corresponding baseline values (Figure 1). Each point represents the mean ± SEM. ^#𝑃<0.05, ^##𝑃<0.01 when comparing the AS group with the NC group and *𝑃<0.05, **𝑃<0.01 when comparing the AA group with the AS group.
