|
A study on effects of acupuncture applied in left and right posterior lims on liver damage of rats was conducted in order to determine effects of acupuncture on liver damaged by carbon tetrachloride. Acupunctures were applied to LR2 which belongs to JokkWolUmKanKyung. GOT, GPT, LDH, ALP, LAP values were measured for 7 days from day 1 to day 7 after application of acupuncture on right and left points of LR2.
The results are as follows;
1. GOT value of the rats that were acupunctured at LR2 points of right side began to decrease in the first day of application and the value decreased remarkable in the 7th day. The value of the rats which were stimulated by acupuncture at the both sides of LR2 began to decrease in two days after application of acupuncture and decreased remarkably in the sixth day of the experiment.
2. GPT values of the rats which were stimulated by acupuncture at both sides of LR2 point decreased significantly.
3. LDH values of the rats which were stimulated by acupuncture in the right side LR2 points began to decrease remarkably in two days after stimulation, meanwhile those values of the rats which were stimulated in left side and both sides of LR2 decreased significantly in seven days after stimulation.
4. ALP values of the rats which were stimulated by acupuncture in left side of LR2 decreased remarkably and those values of the rats which were stimulated by acupuncture in left side and both sides of LR2 decreased significantly.
5. LAP values of the rats which were stimulated by acupuncture in right side of LR2 decreased ramarkably and gradually recovered. However, those values of rats which were stimulated by acupuncture in both sides of LR2 significantly decreased.
