Effect of Preventive Acupuncture and Moxibustion at Guanyuan (CV-4) on the Expressions of Estrogen Receptor-α and Heat Shock Protein-70 in the Uterus of Natural Climacteric Rats
Objective To observe the effect of preventive acupuncture and moxibustion at Guanyuan(CV 4)on abnormal activity in early climacteric rats.Methods Using four-month-old female SD rats as young control group
the 24 ten-month-old SD female rats screened by vaginal smear were randomized into 4 groups.The climacteric models by natural aging were established.The changes of estrogen receptor(ER-α)and heat shock protein-70(HSP-70)expressions resulted from the effect of preventive acupuncture and preventive moxibustion were observed.Results The expression of ER-α decreased gradually in the uterus of natural climacteric rats(P<0.01)
both preventive acupuncture and moxibustion could increase it significantly(P<0.01).The expression of HSP-70 increased unsteadily(P<0.01)
and preventive acupuncture and moxibustion could increase it further(P<0.05).Conclusion The expression of ER-α in the uterus of 12-month-old natural climacteric rats decreased.Preventive acupuncture and moxibustion can protect the uterus function through increasing the expressions of ER-α and HSP-70.
