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

Figure 3

Tail temperature change following suspended moxibustion. Tail temperature began to quickly increase immediately after suspended moxibustion. At about 5–10 min, the change of tail temperature in non-TTI subgroup reached a relatively stable level but less than 1°C on average. However, the tail temperature of TTI subgroup continued to increase to a peak value, which was maintained until the end of the treatment at 30 min. The change of tail temperature in TTI subgroup is about 3°C. Data coming from the tail temperature change of all 149 rats on the second moxibustion day are presented as a representative. Data are expressed as mean ± SD.
