Objective: To evaluate the hpid-regulating and anti-inflammatory effects of moxibustion in mice with atherosclerosis.Methods: Thirty-three apolipoprotein-E-deficient atherosclerosisprone mice (ApoE-/-mice) were randomly divided into 3 groups (n=l 1 per group): moxibustion, sham moxibustion control and model control.Age-matched C57 mice of the same genetic background were used as blank control (n=4).
