To investigate whether local A1R of Baihui acupoint mediate cerebral ischemia tolerance induced by electro-acupuncture (EA).Sixty SD rats were randomly divided into five groups, i.e., the sham-operation (S) group, the model group (M), the electroacupuncture (E) group, the CCPA group and the DMSO group. The focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion model was established by middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) in rats. Rats in the E group were received EA pretreatment baihui acupoint at 2 h before established MCAO. The rats in DMSO group and the CCPA group were injected with DMSO (20 µl) and CCPA (0.1 mmol/L) 20 µl into Baihui, respectively, at 2 h before established MCAO. After 24 h reperfusion, the rats' behavior, cerebral infarct volume, the cerebral Bcl-2 protein expression were assessed.Compared with M group, the rats' behavior was improved, the cerebral infarct volume was decreased and the Bcl-2 protein expression was up-regulated (P < 0.05) in the E group. Compared with M and DMSO group, the rats' behavior was improved, the cerebral infarct volume was decreased and the Bcl-2 protein expression was up-regulated (P < 0.05) in the CCPA group. There were no statistical differences between CCPA and E group.EA induced cerebral ischemia tolerance. Local A1R of Baihui acupoint possible mediate cerebral ischemia tolerance induced by Electroacupuncture.
