[P-NMR analysis of the hepatic cell energetic metabolism in tumor-bearing mice by moxibustion treatment].

: The new technique, NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) spectrum analysis was used in this research to measure the state of energetic metabolism of hepatic cells at the organic level. The experimental results demonstrated that moxibustion on Guanyuan (CV4) point could remarkably increase the ATP molecules in the hepatic cells, significantly raise the thermodynamic reserve and phosphate potential of the hepatic cells, so as to enhance the functional activities of liver. It is discussed here of the mechanism of anti-tumor by moxibustion treatment and of the theory of warming the kidney and enhancing the Yang to tonify to energetic Qi by moxibustion on Guanyuan point.
