Catecholamine-storing cells in the cyclostome heart.
The lamprey heart contains characteristic catecholamine-storing cells in both the atrium and the ventricle. Sufficient circumstantial evidence is available indicating that catecholamines together with protein carbohydrate complexes are contained in these cells within the membrane bound cytoplasmic granules. If the "recepto-secretory function" and "neuroectodermal origin" of these cells are prov...
متن کاملElectrical skin impedance at acupuncture points.
OBJECTIVES To test whether electrical skin impedance at each of three acupuncture points (APs) is significantly lower than at nearby sites on the meridian (MP) and off the meridian (NP). DESIGN Two instruments - Prognos (MedPrevent GmbH, Waldershof, Germany), a constant-current (DC) device, and PT Probe (designed for this study), a 100-Hz sinusoidal-current (AC) device-were used to record ele...
متن کاملCatecholamine Synthesis in Rabbits
Norepinephrine synthesis was determined in the heart and adrenals of rabbits made hypertensive by complete denervation of the carotid sinuses and aortic arch. There was a 24% reduction of norepinephrine concentration in the left ventricle 3 weeks after denervation, despite evidence of enhanced synthesis as determined by three methods: (1) an 18% increase in apparent synthesis rates (from 0.76 t...
متن کاملDo acupuncture points exist?
We used synchrotron x-ray fluorescence analysis to probe the distribution of four chemical elements in and around acupuncture points, two located in the forearm and two in the lower leg. Three of the four acupuncture points showed significantly elevated concentrations of elements Ca, Fe, Cu and Zn in relation to levels in the surrounding tissue, with similar elevation ratios for Cu and Fe. The ...
متن کاملAcupuncture points and skin impedance.
OVERLAPPING OF MERIDIAN AND VEIN A superficial vein named the median vein located on the midline of the anterior forearm is a common site for phlebotomy. It is rather parallel to the invisible PC4 and pericardial meridian (figure 1), although individual mappings of the vein are not uniform. The veins have thin elastic walls and blood flowing inside; electrically they are very conductive. Mechan...
