Abstract

The effects of electroacupuncture (EA) on the pressor response and reversible myocardial dysfunction induced by application of bradykinin (BK) on the gallbladder were studied in cats anesthetized with #alpha#-chloralose. Results indicate that EA has an inhibitory effect on the BK-induced pressor and ischemic dysfunction, which may be related with endogenous opioid peptide.
