Confronting the anxiety of Generation Z: electroacupuncture therapy regulates oxidative stress and microglia activity in amygdala-basolateral of socially isolated mice by Tong Yin, Junyun Yuan, Lu Liu, Yinxin Wang, Yuanfang Lin, Kangwen Ming, Hang Lv

“…Additionally, biochemical analyses and immunofluorescence imaging were performed to assess the expression of NADPH oxidase 2 (NOX2), microglial activation markers, and levels of oxidative stress.ResultsOur findings reveal that EA treatment significantly mitigates anxiety-like behaviors in mice, correlating with a reduction in NOX2 expression within BLA microglia and decreased levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Furthermore, EA was observed to restore normal microglial morphology, indicating its potential role in modulating microglial activity.DiscussionThe results of this study suggest that EA exerts its anxiolytic effects through the modulation of oxidative stress and the activity of microglia in the BLA. …”
