Electroacupuncture Intervention in Animals

The site of animal electroacupuncture intervention was consistent with those used in previous experiments (Wang et al., 2015 (link)). Zhong-wan-acupoint (RN12) was located on the intersection of the upper 1/3 and lower 2/3 of the line connecting the xiphoid process and the upper border of the pubic symphysis, wei-shu-acupoint (BL21) was 2 mm adjacent to the spinous process of the 12th thoracic vertebra. Using disposable sterile acupuncture needles (0.25*13 mm, Yunlong Medical Co., Ltd., China) and electrical stimulator (G6805, Qingdao Xinsheng, China). A 20 min EA procedure was performed at a frequency of 2/100 Hz by using current with an intensity of 0.1–1 mA.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
