Abstract

Objectives : The aim of this study was to observe the effect of moxibustion at combined acupoints of ST36, BL21 and CV12 in rats with sex and age. Methods : This study measured small intestinal motility in rats. First, cauterize with moxa was applied 5 times to the ST36, BL21 and CV12 in rats classified by sex and age under enflurane anesthesia. And then same treatment is done to mached acupoints of ST36, BL21 and CV12. Results : In single acupoint groups, cauterizing with moxa on ST36 increased with 5, 7 weeks in female and all weeks in male. The BL21 group increased with 5, 6, 7 weeks in female, and only 5 weeks in male. The CV12 group showed increasing with 5, 6 weeks in female and only 7 weeks in male. In combined acupoints groups, the ST36+BL21 with 8 weeks in male, the ST36+CV12 with 5, 8 weeks in female and 5, 6, 8 weeks in male, the CV12+BL21 only with 5 weeks in female, the ST36+BL21+CV12 only with 5 weeks in female showed increasing, respectively. Conclusions : Although these differents according to the sex and age in rats do not have a established tendency, the results suggested that the effects of moxibustion are experimentally should be considered the sex and age of individual.
