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

Figure 4

Gastric motility in response to 1 mA EAS at CV12 in three groups of mice. (a) showed representative examples of the alterations of gastric contraction wave induced by 1 mA EAS at CV12. (b), (c), and (d) displayed comparison of the inhibitory effects of 1 mA EA at CV12 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).
