The interplay of stress hormones of the hypothalamus\u2013pituitary\u2013adrenal axis (HPA) and the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) is critical in the stress response. Our objective was to determine whether EA at acupoint, stomach 36 (EA St\n                    <jats:sub>36<\/jats:sub>\n                    ) is effective in preventing chronic cold stress-induced increased hormone levels in the rat by examining four groups of animals, three of which were exposed to cold and one of which was a non-treatment control group. Before exposure to the cold, two groups were treated with either EA St\n                    <jats:sub>36<\/jats:sub>\n                    , or Sham-EA, before 10 days of cold stress. The EA St\n                    <jats:sub>36<\/jats:sub>\n                    animals demonstrated a significant decrease in peripheral HP hormones (ACTH and CORT) compared with stress animals (\n                    <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt;0.05). These effects were specific; rats receiving Sham-EA had elevation of these hormones, similar to the stress-only animals. These effects were mirrored centrally in the brain; CRH levels were significantly (\n                    <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt;0.05) reduced in EA St\n                    <jats:sub>36<\/jats:sub>\n                    animals compared with the other animals. Finally, EA effect on peripheral and adrenal SNS hormones (norepinephrine (NE) and neuropeptide Y (NPY) respectively) was examined, with no significant difference noted in adrenal tyrosine hydroxylase or circulating NE in any of the groups. However, EA St\n                    <jats:sub>36<\/jats:sub>\n                    was effective in preventing stress-induced elevation is adrenal\n                    <jats:italic>Npy<\/jats:italic>\n                    mRNA. These results indicate that EA St\n                    <jats:sub>36<\/jats:sub>\n                    blocks the chronic stress-induced elevations in the HPA and the sympathetic NPY pathway, which may be a mechanism for its specific stress-allaying effects.\n
