Acupuncture at LR3 attenuates renal sympathetic activity and MBP in hypertensive rats; leaves open translation to human hypertension therapy.
Does daily acupuncture at Taichong (LR3) reduce mean blood pressure and improve heart rate variability in spontaneously hypertensive rats?
Acupuncture at LR3 attenuates blood pressure increases in spontaneously hypertensive rats by modulating renal sympathetic activity and beta-adrenergic receptors.
Yang et al. (2017) studied Hypertension. Acupuncture at Taichong (LR3) was evaluated on Mean blood pressure (MBP) and heart rate variability (HRV). Daily acupuncture at Taichong (LR3) for 14 days significantly attenuated the increase of mean blood pressure and improved heart rate variability in spontaneously hypertensive rats.
