Stimuli-induced NOergic Molecules and Neuropeptides Mediated Axon
Reflexes Contribute to Tracers along Meridian Pathways
Shengxing Ma
Abstract:An abundance of studies from different international groups have demonstrated tracers
along linear pathways resembling meridians over the body surface of humans. All experiments of
the studies have been conducted by injection of a radiotracer solution or tracer dyes in a volume of
solution into acupuncture points (acupoints). The solution injected into acupoints produces much
stronger mechanical stimuli than acupuncture, which causes axon reflex. Anatomical studies have
demonstrated that acupoints/meridians ex… Show more
