Neurohumors in acupuncture.

Chen G.

In acupuncture an increase of some substance at the reactive site seems to be required in order to have a biochemical response. Among the substances to be considered are the neurohormones. Experimentally, the sympathetic and parasympathetic neurohormones are shown to be involved in analgesia and in the transmission of nerve impulses.
