The stimulation of zusanli was shown to decrease inflammation, as evidenced by decreased cytokines (including interleukin-6) and inhibition of edema in a rat model of inflammation involving carrageenan injection.Zusanli activation also improves insulin sensitivity and cerebral blood flow (an effect mediated by nitric oxide), while it decreases sympathetic nerve activity and arterial pressure.An analgesic effect, mediated in part by nitric oxide as well, through the upregulation of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS),an increase in endogenous opiates, muscarinic cholinergic receptors and serotonin receptors 5-HT1a and 5-HT3, was repeatedly evidenced.
The stimulation of zusanli decreases the locomotor activity elicited by nicotine administration and decreases Fos-like immunoreactivity in the basal ganglia (striatum and nucleus accumbens) in a rat model of nicotine sensitization .Those changes in the basal ganglia also improve the alcohol withdrawal syndrome in similar experimental conditions.
