Abstract

Objective It is to study the effect of Baihui and Dazhui acupuncture on cognitive action and glutathione-peroxidase (GSH-PX) activity in brain of vascular dementia (VD) rats. Methods Thirty-six pure Wistar aging rats were divided into negative injury group, model group, acupuncture group and medicine group. VD models were induced with 2-VO and treated with acupuncture of Baihui and Dazhui. The memory ability in according to shuttle test and the activity of GSH-PX in brain were determined. Results After acupuncture of Baihui and Dazhui, the stroke times and the stroke time of shuttle decreased and the activity of GSH-PX in brain increased. Conclusion Acupuncture of Baihui and Dazhui can increase the learning and memory ability of VD rat and improve the metabolism of free radical and promote its restoring intelligence.
