摘要
After electroacupuncture (EA) for 25 minutes stthe bilateral Shousanli (LI 10) and Huantiao (GB30) points of rats,5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) con-tents in medulla oblongata plus pons and midbrainmarkedly increased with elevation of pain threshold.However,preliminary intraperitoneal injection of at-ropine,a muscarinic receptor inhibitor of acetylcho-line,not only partially blocked the effect of electroa-cupuncture analgesia (EAA),but also abolished theincrease of 5-HT in the brain.These results suggest that the cholinergic systemmay play an important role in EAA,which may bemediated through the central serotonergic system inthe brain.
