Electro-acupuncture-induced neuroprotection is associated with activation of the IGF-1/PI3K/Akt pathway following adjacent dorsal root ganglionectomies in rats.

In conclusion, the results of the present study demonstrated the crucial roles of IGF‑1 in EA‑induced neuroplasticity following adjacent dorsal root ganglionectomies in rats via the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. PMID: 30569108 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
