Blocking N-Methyl-D-aspartic Acid (NMDA) Receptor Inhibits Heat-Sensitization Response of Moxibustion in Stroke Rats

<div>Heat-sensitization response in cerebral infarct rat. MCAO rats showed a tail temperature increase (TTI) when acupoint DU 14 was exposed to suspended moxibustion. This phenomenon reproduces the human beings’ heat-sensitization response in cerebral infarct rats. The red region on the rat’s neck represents the location of acupoint DU 14. The red shown on the rat’s tail represents the temperature increasing.</div>
