摘　　要：OBJECTIVE:To examine whether specific stimulation of Shenshu(BL23)affects sympathetic nervous activity(SNA)-associated plasma renin concentration(PRC).METHODS:Eight healthy volunteers participated in three pattern conditions in random order:control(Cont),stimulation of Shenshu(BL23),and stimulation of sham point(Sham).All participants were initially in the supine position for>60 min,and then remained in the standing position during the experimental procedure to increase SNA.An electrocardiogram was used to calculate low frequency/high frequency(LF/HF)ratio;blood was collected to analyze PRC.RESULTS:The LF/HF ratio was significantly increased in the standing position when compared with the supine position(P<0.01).There was no difference in LF/HF ratio during or after stimulation of Shenshu(BL23)in the standing position when compared with before the stimulation in the supine position;however,the LF/HF ratio was significantly increased in Cont and Sham conditions(P<0.01).There was no difference in PRC after stimulation of Shenshu(BL23)in the standing position when compared with before the stimulation in the supine position;however,there was a significant increase in PRC in the Cont and Sham conditions(Cont P<0.05,Sham P<0.01).CONCLUSION:Our results demonstrated that specific acupuncture stimulation of Shenshu(BL23)in the standing position decreased SNA-associated PRC,which was not observed during acupuncture stimulation of the sham point.
