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

Figure 3

Gastric motility in response to 1 mA EAS at ST36 in three groups of mice. (a) Representative examples of the alterations of gastric contraction wave induced by 1 mA EAS at ST36. (b), (c), and (d) displayed the comparison of the facilitatory effects of 1 mA EAS at ST36 on the amplitude, integral, and frequency of gastric motility, respectively, among three groups of mice (C57BL/6, 𝑛=8; ASIC3−/−, 𝑛=8; TRPV1−/−, 𝑛=8; *𝑃<0.05, ***𝑃<0.001 versus C57BL/6).
