Acupuncture Needling, Electroacupuncture, and Fire Needling Improve Imiquimod-Induced Psoriasis-Like Skin Lesions through Reducing Local Inflammatory Responses

Figure 5

Acupuncture needling and electroacupuncture reduced the expression levels of Neurokinin A (NKA) in IMQ-induced mouse skin lesions. The expression levels of (a) NKA, and (b) Substance P (SP) were detected by Western immunoblotting. Data are presented as the mean ± SD (n = 7/group). <0.01, <0.001 vs Ctrl; <0.05, <0.01 vs model.
