The action of acupunture stimulation on analgesia has been investigated. The brain and serum extracts of acupuncture rabbits injected into rabbits produced a marked analgesic effect on the recipient, as shown by a great increase of their pain threshold. This effect is counteracted by a specific opiate anatagonist, naloxone. The data suggest that the release of the endogenous substances with morphine-like biological properties, endorphins, is increased by acupuncture stimulation, thus inhibiting pain perception.
It can be seen that urinary "cortisol" excretion significantly increased during triamterene treatment. Fluorimetric interferences were more marked when higher doses were employed. No significant interference was found in plasma cortisol determinations. Therefore valid conclusions cannot be drawn from measurements of urine cortisol determinations in patient! treated with triamterene. References
