Objective: To observe the therapeutic effect of electroacupuncture (EA) on plasma angiotensin (Ang*.Ⅱ), aldosterone (ALD) and atrial natriuretic polypeptide (ANP) contents in experimental cerebral infarction rabbits for analyzing the underlying mechanism of acupuncture in ameliorating blood supply of the brain tissue. Methods: A total of 80 rabbits were randomized into control (n=8), pseudo-operation (n=24), model (n=24) and EA (n=24) groups. Cerebral infarction model was established by infusion of self-thrombus into the carotid artery. EA (1 mA, 2 Hz) was applied to "Baihui"(百会GV 20) and "Shuigou"(水沟GV 26) for 30 min, once every 12 hours. Plasma Ang-II, ALD and ANP contents were detected with radioimmunoassay method. In the later 3 groups, blood samples were taken at 6 h, 24 h and 48 h after cerebral ischemia. Results: Compared with control and pseudo-operation groups, Ang-II and ALD contents of model group at 6 h, 24 h and 48 h after cerebral ischemia increased significantly while plasma ANP of the 3 time-courses of model group decreased considerably (P
