[Effect of acupuncture on exercise ability in rabbits].
7 male rabbits were chosen for the experiments. They were tired out on the P20 type table. The blood samples were obtained from the arteria before and after exercise. Blood gas was tested by ABL3 acid-bases balance laboratory made by Denmark's Radiometer Company. The results showed that blood pH and glucose were reduced after exercise, compared with that before exercise (P less than 0.05). The blood was acid. But when they were given acupuncture on Shenshu (U.B. 23) point bilateral, their exercise-duration under the same intensity was prolonged (P less than 0.05), blood glucose restored, and blood acid-base balance was relatively stable. The complexity of this mechanism needs further study.
