Effects of electroacupuncture pretreatment on M1 polarization of alveolar macrophages in rats with acute lung injury

ConclusionEA pretreatment at Chize (LU5) and Zusanli (ST36) can inhibit inflammation and reduce pulmonary injury in ALI rats induced by LPS. The effect of the combination of Chize (LU5) and Zusanli (ST36) is better than that of using these two acupoints separately, and its mechanism may be related to the inhibition of AMs ’ M1 polarization by down-regulation TLR4/NF-KB signaling pathway.
