Effects of acupuncture and moxibustion at Feishu (BL13) on inflammatory responses and intestinal short-chain fatty acids in asthma model rats

ConclusionBoth acupuncture and moxibustion were effective in reducing abnormal inflammation and regulating intestinal SCFAs in asthma model rats. Acupuncture demonstrated superiority in inhibiting pro-inflammatory factors, particularly IL-5 and IL-13, while moxibustion exhibited better regulation on intestinal metabolites SCFAs, especially acetic acid.
