Acupuncture Stimulation at GB34 Restores MPTP-Induced Neurogenesis Impairment in the Subventricular Zone of Mice

Figure 1

The schedule diagram of each experiment. MPTP or saline was intraperitoneally injected into mice daily for five consecutive days. BrdU injection was performed 2 h after each MPTP or saline injection and continued daily until 7 days after the final MPTP or saline injection. Two hours after the BrdU injection, mice in acupuncture-treated group received acupuncture stimulation at GB34 or SI3. The pole test was performed one day before MPTP injection (day 0), 2 h after the fifth acupuncture stimulation (day 5), and 2 h after the last acupuncture stimulation (day 12).
