Involvement of Interleukin-10 in Analgesia of Electroacupuncture on Incision Pain

Figure 2

IL-10 was upregulated by EA. (a) IL-10 mRNA was not increased by incision (, vs. naïve), but significantly increased by pretreatment of EA at 6 h after incision (, vs. naïve). (b) IL-10 protein expression in the EA group was significantly higher than that in the sham-EA group at 1 d after incision (, vs. sham-EA + inc). (c) IL-10RA was not different between the two groups (, vs. sham-EA + inc).
