Data were shown as mean ± SD (n = 8). The values of pulmonary resistance in the table were expressed as differential values subtracted from the corresponding baseline values. Statistical comparisons were made by ANOVA with LSD test for post hoc analysis. * indicate P < 0.05, compared to CK; # indicate P < 0.05, compared to AS.
CK: control rats; AS: asthmatic rats; ASAC: asthmatic rats treated by acupuncture; CKAC: control rats treated by acupuncture.
