2. Figure 1
Effects of electroacupuncture treatment on ovary weight and capillary permeability in rats induced to achieve ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. (A) Comparison of rat ovary weight between groups; (B) comparison of Evans Blue concentration in peritoneal irrigated fluid; (C) comparison of Evans Blue concentration in the ovarian extract. Values are expressed as mean ± SEM. *P < 0.05, **P < EB, Evans Blue dye. EAO, electroacupuncture plus OHSS; OHSS, ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome; PEAO, electroacupuncture pretreatment plus OHSS.

3. Figure 2
Effects of electroacupuncture on serum levels of (A) oestradiol; (B) prolactin (B); (C) progesterone and (D) testosterone in rats induced to achieve ovarian hypserstimulation syndrome. The level of four hormones was determined by chemiluminescent immunoassay. Values are represented as mean ± SEM. *P < 0.05, **P < EAO, electroacupuncture plus OHSS; OHSS, ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome; PEAO, electroacupuncture pretreatment plus OHSS.

4. Figure 3
Effect of electroacupuncture treatment on the serum levels of (A) MCP-1; (B) TNF-α and (C) ovarian IL-6 in rats induced to achieve ovarian hypserstimulation syndrome. The levels of MCP-1 and TNF-a in serum and IL-6 in ovarian extract were analysed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Values are represented as mean ± SEM. * P < 0.05; **P < EAO, electroacupuncture plus OHSS; IL-6, interleukin-6; MCP-1, monocyte chemoactic protein 1; OHSS, ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome; PEAO, electroacupuncture pretreatment plus OHSS; TNF-α, tumour necrosis factor alpha.

5. Figure 4
Effect of electroacupuncture treatment on vascular endothelial growth factor expression in the ovary. vascular endothelial growth factor concentration was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Values are represented as mean ± SEM. *P < 0.05, **P < EAO, electroacupuncture plus OHSS; OHSS, ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome; PEAO, electroacupuncture pretreatment plus OHSS; VEGF, vascular endothelial growth factor.
