Changes in Nitric Oxide Releases of the Contralateral Acupoint during and after Laser Acupuncture at Bilateral Same-Name Acupoints in Human

Table 1

The changes in absorbance at RPC6 and LPC6 acupoints during LA treatment and recovery period (mean ± SE).

Group	NO release at air	NO release at RPC6	NO release at LPC6
absorbance from the air and skin acupoint area (a.u.)	0.32 ± 0.03	0.46 ± 0.04	0.44 ± 0.04
The real absorbance from skin acupoint area (a.u.)	0	0.14 ± 0.01	0.12 ± 0.02
LA-induced absorbance during LA at CPC6 (a.u.)	0	0.03 ± 0.01	0.12 ± 0.01
LA-induced absorbance after LA at CPC6 (a.u.)	0	0.18 ± 0.02	0.26 ± 0.03
LA-induced absorbance after LA at itself (a.u.)	0	0.53 ± 0.05	0.40 ± 0.04
