Abstract

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to observe the antioxidant effect of electroaupuncture at TE5 on the rats that were given AAPH(50mg/kg) everyday. Methodes : The Rats were given AAPH(50mg/kg) in abdominal cavity everyday for one week. $TE_5-NR$ group were treated by acupucture on left $TE_5$ for 15min. $TE_5-EA$ group were treated by electroacupucture on left $TE_5$ for 15min. The author observe several changes of rats. First, it is change of rat weight. Second, it is change of Liver index. Third, it is changes of albumin, total bilirubin, LDL-cholesterol, LDH, Glucose, GOT, GPT. Fourth, it is changes of SOD & Catalase activity, Glutathione & NO & MDA concentration. Fifth, it is change of tissue. Results: 1. In the $TE_5-EA$ group, the live index was decreased significant compared with control & holder group. 2. In the $TE_5-EA$ group, the albumin level were increased significant compared with control & holder group, LDL-cholesterol, GOT level were decreased significant compared with control & holder group. 3. In the $TE_5-EA$ group, the SOD activity, Catalase activity were increased significant compared with control group, Glutathione level was increased significant compared with control & holder, sham-EA, $TE_5-NR$ group, NO and MDA concentration were decreased significant compared with control group.
