Does electroacupuncture at Neiguan acupoints reduce myocardial injury and inflammatory responses in mice with ischemia-reperfusion injury?
Electroacupuncture at Neiguan acupoints protects against myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury by inhibiting HMGB1 release via vagal nerve and nicotinic receptor signaling.
Zhang et al. (2015) studied this question.
