    Journal: Am J Chin Med; 1980; 8(1-2):160-6. PubMed ID: 7395795.
    Abstract:
    There was increased production of adrenocortical hormones (cortisol and corticosterone) in the adrenal during three different types of stress: immobilization, exposure to heat, and exposure to cold. Such a state of hypersecretion of adrenocortical hormones was inhibited by electroacupuncture at the Tsu-San-Li (St-36) locus.
