Electroacupuncture and Moxibustion Improved Anxiety Behavior in DSS-Induced Colitis Mice

Figure 1

Schematic diagram illustrating the major steps of the experimental procedure in the dextran sodium sulfate- (DSS-) induced colitis model and EA or MB inventions. The MD, EA, and MB mice were induced to the ulcerative colitis model by drinking 2.5% DSS for 7 d. After establishment of the model on the 5^th day, the EA and MB groups were treated by electroacupuncture or moxibustion, respectively, for 5 d. NG: normal group; MD: model group; EA: electroacupuncture group; MB: moxibustion group.
