Researchers at Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine in China investigated the mechanisms underlying the effect of electroacupuncture pretreatment (EP) on myocardial infarction (MI) through metabolic profiling. Their findings were published in The American Journal of Chinese Medicine.
Based on these findings, the researchers concluded that electroacupuncture protects against myocardial infarction by regulating amino acid and energy metabolisms.
