The effects of acupuncture stimulation on the Ta-Chuei (Go-14), Nei-Kuan (EH-6), and Tsu-San-Li (St-36) loci on thermoregulatory function were assessed in normal adults. Stimulation of acupuncture locus Ta-Chuei produced hypothermia. The hypothermia was brought about by a decrease in metabolic rate, an increase in cutaneous circulation (the back region) and perspiration. On the other hand, acupuncture stimulation of either the Nei-Kuan or Tsu-San-Li loci produced a slight hyperthermia. The hyperthermia was due to a decrease in cutaneous circulation. The data indicate that each acupuncture locus may have its own function with special reference to body temperature regulation.
在正常成年人中评估了针刺刺激大椎穴（督脉14）、内关穴（心包经6）和足三里穴（胃经36）对体温调节功能的影响。针刺大椎穴会导致体温过低。体温过低是由代谢率降低、皮肤循环（背部区域）增加和出汗引起的。另一方面，针刺内关穴或足三里穴会产生轻微的体温过高。体温过高是由于皮肤循环减少所致。数据表明，每个穴位在体温调节方面可能都有其独特的功能。
