ABSTRACT
Oxidative stress is associated with a variety of disease pathologies, it may lead to mitochondrial dysfunction, damage of impaired DNA repairment, cell damage or apoptosis. Acupuncture and moxibustion therapy has been proved to have a role in reducing oxidative stress in organisms under pathological conditions. In the present paper, we collected literatures in both English and Chinese from domestic and foreign databases on the mechanisms of acupuncture and moxibustion underlying amelioration of oxidative stress over the past 5 years, and analyzed the link between acupuncture-moxibustion intervention and redox biology from four aspectsï¼ 1) regulation of the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), 2) affecting antioxidant enzyme-related pathways to reduce ROS, 3) repairing proteins, lipids and DNAs attacked by ROS, and 4) inhibiting downstream apoptosis or autophagy of ROS pathway. By summarizing and prospecting such antioxidant mechanisms, this paper may provide some basis and ideas for in-depth mechanism research on acupuncture and moxibustion to improve oxidative stress and related diseases.
