Figure 1

Time schedule of the protocol for exploring the relationship between the cholinergic nerve and the enhancing hypoglycemic effect of insulin by EA: STZ: streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats, ICT begin: the beginning point of insulin challenge test, Atropine/HC-3/Eserine: each agent was given at 30 min before ICT separately, EA: the experimental group treated EA, non-EA: the control group not treated EA.
