Abstract
The effect of low threshold electrical stimulation via acupuncture of classical acupuncture locus tsusanli was studied in rats with light anesthesia. A remarkable decrease of RBC velocities in mesenteric vessels and a fall of carotid arterial pressure occurred during stimulation. An inhibition of sympathetic vasoconstrictor activity by stimulating the conventional meridian loci was the mechanism which could be justifiably postulated.
