Changes in Nitric Oxide Releases of the Contralateral Acupoint during and after Laser Acupuncture at Bilateral Same-Name Acupoints in Human

Figure 4

Different releases of NO generated from bilateral same-name acupoints during and after LA at one side. The panels show that the absorbance of PC6 acupoints for the nontreated sides did not change during LA treatment compared to those of the PC6 without LA treatment (); the absorbance of the PC6 for the treated and nontreated side all significantly increased after LA removal (), but the absorbance of the PC6 for the treated side was obviously higher than that of the nontreated side (). The absorbance in both the right and left PC6 after LA RPC6 was obviously higher than those of stimulating LPC6 .
