Notes: control: normal feeding, without any treatment; POI: POI model was induced by intraperitoneal injection of CTX (2 mg/mL) for 15 d.; SA + POI: sham acupuncture intervention in CTX-induced POI rats for 4 weeks; ZS + POI: Zhibian (BL54) through Shuidao (ST28) acupuncture intervention in CTX-induced POI rats for 4 weeks. POI: premature ovarian insufficiency; CTX: cyclophosphamide; SA: sham acupuncture; ZS: Zhibian (BL54) through Shuidao (ST28) acupuncture. The one-way analysis of variance and least significance difference-t test were used. Compared with the control group, aP < 0.01; compared with the POI group, bP < 0.01.
