Difference in the anti-fatigue effect of moxibustion at different acupoints in one-off exhausted rats

ConclusionIt was found in the research that moxibustion at “BL23”“ST36” “CV4” and“CV8”regulated the energy metabolism in the one-off exhausted rats so as to bring the anti-fatigue effect into play and the effect was different among the acupoints. Moxibustion at “CV8” may work on the prevention of the protein decomposition in the skeletal muscle and moxibustion at “BL23”may be against the oxidation in the skeletal muscle.
