Real-time analysis of ATP concentration in acupoints during acupuncture: a new technique combining microdialysis with patch clamp

Abstract This paper introduces a new technique combining microdialysis with patch clamp to detect the changes in ATP (adenosine triphosphate) concentration in acupoints during acupuncture. The microdialysis probe was implanted into the Zusanli acupoint (ST 36) of adult SD (Sprague Dawley) rats to sa...
