“…The genome-wide changes of gene expression following acupuncture/moxibustion treatment have been primarily profiled in models of Parkinson's Disease (Hong et al, 2010;Choi et al, 2011a,b), allergic disorder (Shiue et al, 2008(Shiue et al, , 2010Sohn et al, 2010;Tan et al, 2010), spinal cord injury (SCI) , EA analgesia (Ko et al, 2002;Chae et al, 2006;Gao et al, 2007), hypercholesterolemia (Kang et al, 2007a;Li and Zhang, 2007), aging (Yu et al, 2005;Ding et al, 2006) and cerebral ischemia (Guo et al, 2004). The microarrays of either cDNA or oligonucleotide probes (Gao et al, 2007) were used to screen for potential candidate genes to mediate acupuncture responses.…”
