Involvement of Interleukin-10 in the Anti-Inflammatory Effect of Sanyinjiao (SP6) Acupuncture in a Mouse Model of Peritonitis
Figure 2
Effect of SP6 acupuncture or DEXA in carrageenan-induced peritonitis in mice. (a) Total leukocytes, (b) neutrophil cells, (c) mononuclear cells and (d) Evans blue content (exudation). Mice received sterile saline (NaCl, 0.9%, i.p., C), carrageenan (750 μg/mice, Cg), DEXA (0.5 mg kg−1, i.p., 0.5 h, DEXA) plus Cg, stimulation of the sham acupoint (10 min, NA) plus Cg or stimulation of SP6 acupoint (10 min, SP6) plus Cg. Values are mean ± SEM of six to eight animals. ***P < .001 compared with carrageenan groups, and ###P < .001 compared to control group (one-way ANOVA followed by Newman-Keul's test).
