  • Other Comments:

    This reads more like a case study presentation than effects from more than one experiment one animal rat. If so, the paper might be improved by experiment on groups of rats utilizing comparison placebo versus meridian accupuncture site measures. What the authors present is understood, already known, but lacks illustration of the data reported collected from one specimen. Adding illustrations, tables, graphics might add to the interest this paper should gain. Please add references including those that may support findings or identify the findings only this paper implies. The paper being brief lacks support and discussion which may improve the authors findings significantly.

     

    If this paper is rewritten with some of these suggestions applied, I request to be invited to review it again. What was written is very interesting and may be significant if support and implications are embellished utilizing science-review methodology.

    The overall article sounds incomplete.....there is no flow followed to give the complete story. The references are missing. Overall an incomplete article.
