Effects of electroacupuncture at Guanyuan (CV 4) or Sanyinjiao (SP 6) on hypothalamus-pituitary-ovary axis and spatial learning and memory in female SAMP8 mice.

CONCLUSION: EA can regulate hormone (E2, FSH, LH, GnRH) levels in the HPO axis and the spatial
learning and memory ability in female SAMP8 mice. Moreover, this effect may have been more
pronounced in the EA-Sanyinjiao group than the EA-Guanyuan group. The underlying mechanism of
the EA-induced changes may be related to gonadal hormone shifts in the HPO axis, followed by an improvement
in spatial learning and memory.
