Acupuncture Normalizes Brain Structure Following
Heroin Relapse
A research team from Anhui University of Chinese Medicine in China conducted
their study on rats to verify the relationship between acupuncture,
neurotrophic factor expression and brain cell structural changes and found that
the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor and glial cell line-derived
neurotrophic factor also increased in the ventral tegmental area following
acupuncture.The study, which suggested that acupuncture protects brain neurons
against injury with heroin relapse by promoting brain-derived neurotrophic
factor and glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor expression, was
published in the Neural Regeneration Research.
