LANGUAGE NOTE | Document text in English; abstract also in Chinese.Objective: The effects of moxibustion on exercised rats were investigated. Methods: Rats were exercised using a swimming model and moxibusting shenshu (U.B.23) was applied every other day to treatment groups for six weeks. Results: It was found that moxibustion shenshu (MS) could attenuate exercise-induced changes in hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA), decrease the level of enzymes in serum and relieve the decreased levels of SOD in both liver and muscle tissues. Conclusion: The application of MS could be applied to relieve exercise-induced fatigue in rats and its implications to human should be further studied.研究物件採用運動大鼠研究艾灸賢俞的作用。方法採用游泳大鼠運動模型訓練6周對賢俞進行隔天艾灸。結果艾灸腎俞可以緩解運動誘發的下丘腦-垂體-賢上腺軸功能的變化降低血清酶的升高和緩解肌組織和肝組織超氧化物岐化酶的降低。結論艾灸可用於緩解大鼠運動誘發的疲勞其對人體的作用有待進一步的研究。
