Effects of EA treatment on plasma levels of CORT. The data were presented as % changes vs baseline (n = 8 per group, mean ± SEM). EA treatment in non-inflamed rats (diamond) induced no significant changes of plasma CORT. CFA-induced inflammation alone (triangle) resulted in no significant changes in plasma CORT levels. EA treatment in inflamed rats (circle) significantly increased CORT levels compared to sham EA (square). *P < 0.05 compared sham EA.
