[Effect of nitric oxide on noradrenergic function and skin electric resistance of acupoints and meridians].

Most acupuncture points correspond to low skin-resistance points (LSRP) on the body surface along the meridians. We did three experiments which conformed that the skin nitric oxide (NO) concentration and expression of neuronal nitric oxide synthesis (nNOS) were higher than those in non-acupoints, and non-meridian control points. Noradrenaline (NE) synthesis/release was modulated by exogenous NO...
