Intravenous transfusion of blood plasma or serum from electroacupuncturally stimulated donor rabbits that displayed unilateral analgesia of a specific region of one hindlimb as shown by the lack of flexor withdrawal responses to pin pricks, caused the development of a comparable region of analgesia in naive, recipient rabbits. The site of this analgesia was comparable to that observed in the donor animals in terms of anatomical region and in terms of laterality. These findings indicate that acupunctural analgesia is induced through highly specific nervous and chemical mechanisms and that the substances produced can distinguish specific body regions located on one side of the body from the other.
将电针刺激的供体兔的血浆或血清静脉输注给未接受过处理的受体兔，供体兔表现出一侧后肢特定区域的单侧镇痛，即对针刺缺乏屈肌退缩反应，结果受体兔也出现了类似区域的镇痛。这种镇痛的部位在解剖区域和侧别方面与供体动物中观察到的情况相当。这些发现表明，针刺镇痛是通过高度特异性的神经和化学机制诱导产生的，并且所产生的物质能够区分身体一侧的特定身体区域与另一侧的区域。
