Abstract

OBJECTIVE To explore into the effect of acupuncture on AchE and ChAT activity of the hippocampus of rats. METHOD Labyrinth test was used to observe the effect of acupuncture on the learning ability of rats and hydrosulfide colorimetric analysis and immune composition method were used respectively to determine changes in AchE and ChAT activity. RESULT In the acupuncture group, there was greater changes in the AchE and ChAT activity than in the model group (P0.01). Through labyrinth test it was found that the learning ability of the rats in the acupuncture group was better than the model group (P0.01). CONCLUSION Acupuncture at points on Du Meridian can improve the memory of rats.
