Electroacupuncture Pretreatment at Zusanli (ST36) Ameliorates Hepatic Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury in Mice by Reducing Oxidative Stress via Activating Vagus Nerve-Dependent Nrf2 Pathway

Abstract

This study firstly demonstrated that EA pretreatment at ST36 significantly ameliorates hepatic IRI in mice by inhibiting oxidative stress via activating the Nrf2 signal pathway, which was vagus nerve-dependent.
