TL;DR
The effect of low threshold electrical stimulation via acupuncture of classical acupuncture locus tsusanli was studied in rats with light anesthesia and an inhibition of sympathetic vasoconstrictor activity by stimulating the conventional meridian loci was the mechanism which could be justifiably postulated.
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.
