IN VIVO ACETYLCHOLINE PRODUCTION-PROMOTING DEVICE

摘要

Disclosed is a device which can promote the in vivo production of acetylcholine. An in vivo acetylcholine production-promoting device is equipped with: an artery-compressing member which contacts with any site of four limbs and compresses an artery located at the site when the artery-compressing member is pressurized; and a pressurizing means which is connected to the artery-compressing member, pressurizes the artery-compressing member to compress the artery so that the flow of blood in the artery is interrupted during use and releases the pressurized state to re-perfuse blood through the artery. By applying the device to an animal body and repeating the interruption of blood flow and the reperfusion of blood in an artery in four limbs, the production of acetylcholine can be promoted and the concentration of acetylcholine in vivo can be increased.
