Effect of SP6 acupuncture in carrageenan-induced peritonitis in adrenalectomized mice: number of leukocytes (a) and Evans blue dye extravasation in the peritoneal cavities (b). ADX was performed 7 days before the start of the experiment. Mice received sterile saline (NaCl, 0.9%, i.p., C), carrageenan (750 μg/mice, Cg), DEXA (0.5 mg kg−1, i.p., 0.5 h, DEXA) plus Cg or stimulation of SP6 acupoint (10 min, SP6) plus Cg. Values are mean ± SEM of six to eight animals. *P < .05, ***P < .001 when compared with carrageenan group, ### P < .001 when compared to control and SP6 sham ADX group, ## P < .01 when compared between Sham ADX SP6 and ADX SP6 groups (one-way ANOVA followed by Newman-Keul's test).
