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

Table 2

The changes of absorbance at right and left nonacupoints during LA treatment and recovery period (mean ± SE).

Group	NO release at air	NO release at Rnon-acupoint	NO release at Lnon-acupoint
absorbance from the air and skin nonacupoint area (a.u.)	0.32 ± 0.03	0.39 ± 0.05	0.36 ± 0.04
The real absorbance from skin nonacupoint area (a.u.)	0	0.07 ± 0.02	0.04 ± 0.01
LA-induced absorbance during LA at Cnon-acupoint (a.u.)	0	−0.02 ± 0.01	0
LA-induced absorbance after LA at Cnon-acupoint (a.u.)	0	−0.02 ± 0.01	0
LA-induced absorbance after LA at itself (a.u.)	0	0.16 ± 0.02	0.22 ± 0.03
