“Intensity-Response” Effects of Electroacupuncture on Gastric Motility and Its Underlying Peripheral Neural Mechanism

Figure 1

Gastric motility in response to EAS at ST36 with different intensities in rats. (a) Representative examples of the alterations of gastric contraction wave induced by different intensities of EAS at ST36. (b), (c), and (d) displayed the facilitatory effects of EAS at ST36 on the amplitude, integral, and frequency of gastric motility, respectively (𝑛=9; *𝑃<0.05, **𝑃<0.01, versus background activities).
