Effects of electroacupuncture on the expression of estrogen receptor protein and mRNA in rat brain

Abstract

Ovariectomy induced a decrease of blood E_(2) level and increase of the expression of estrogen receptor protein and mRNA in the brain. All these effects could be remarkably reversed by previous EA treatment of ovariectomized rats. EA in intact rat, however, had no effects on blood E_(2) and expression of estrogen receptor.
