Effects of EAS at ST-36 on distal colonic transit. In contrast to the control, the DM group displayed delayed colonic transit, while EAS with high-frequency at ST-36 significantly increased colonic transit. The colonic transit time was not changed obviously in the SEA and LEA group. Data are given as means ± SEM; an asterisk indicates statistical significance at a level of . (*Significantly different to the DM group for 4 weeks, #significantly different to the DM group for 8 weeks.)
