Amun(GV15), Habkook(L14) and Shinsu(B23) have been used as a meridian point for apoplexy, hypertention, vertigo etc. The effects of GV 15, L14 and B23 on the vascular system is not known. The purpose of this Study was to investigate the effect of several meridian points on the regional cerebral bloof flow(rCBF), mean arterial blood pressure(BP) in rats. The changes of BP and rCBF were tested Laser-Doppler Flowmetry(LDF).
Results : The results of this Study were obtained as follows ;
1. GV15 and L14 were increased significantly rCBF.
2. GV15, L14 and B23 were increased BP, but have not significance.
Conclusion : This results suggest that GV15 was increased rCBF by increasing pial arterial diameter, and L14 was increased rCBF by increasing BP.
