Abstract

Moxibustion may influence autophagy regulation in transgenic Alzheimer's disease model mice.

  • The study examines the effects of two types of moxibustion: with and without the sensation known as deqi.
  • Autophagy regulation is a biological process that helps in clearing damaged cells and proteins.
  • The effects of moxibustion on autophagy have not been previously established in this specific mouse model for Alzheimer's disease.
