Effect of Bee Venom Acupuncture on Oxaliplatin-Induced Cold Allodynia in Rats

Figure 2

Effects of BVA at different acupoints on oxaliplatin-induced cold allodynia. The behavioral tests for cold allodynia were performed before and after BVA (1.0 mg/kg) at GV3, (a), right LI11 (b), or right ST36 (c) acupoints (𝑛=4/group). In all groups, the tail withdrawal latency (TWL) 1 hr after BVA increased significantly as compared with the TWL before injection. Only GV3 group showed a significant increase in the TWL 2 hr after BVA. Data are presented as mean ± SEM. ^∗𝑃<0.05 by repeated measures one-way ANOVA followed by Dunnett's post hoc test.
