Figure 3
Involvement of IL-10 in the inhibition of EA on spinal LTP. (a) The spinal LTP completely blocked by EA performed 30 min before the tetanic stimulation of the sciatic nerve (TSS) compared to sham-EA (, vs. sham-EA). (b) The IL-10 antibody (0.4 µg or 2 µg) recovered the spinal LTP suppressed by EA in a dose-dependent manner (, vs. IgG). (c) The spinal LTP was also recovered by IL-10 neutralizing antibody (2 µg) intrathecally injected 30 min after TSS (, vs. IgG).
