Adenosine A2A receptors in the rostral ventrolateral medulla participate in blood pressure decrease with electroacupuncture in hypertensive rats

Acupuncture is increasingly used to manage high blood pressure (BP) as a complementary therapy. However, the mechanisms underlying its hypotensive effects remain unclear.
