Results show that plasma testosterone of the old male subjects and estradiol content of the old male and female subjects rise following moxibustion. It indicatesthat moxibustion can regulate the functional state of the hypothalam us-hypophysis- sexual glang axis,improve neuroendocrine disorder, prevent the sexual glang from atrophy and delay senility. Increase ofthe two hormones in the human body can lead to a series of regulations in other respects. Therefore,moxibustion is of an important role in delaying senility.展开更多
