Electroacupuncture at ST37 Enhances Jejunal Motility via Excitation of the Parasympathetic System in Rats and Mice

Figure 4

Jejunal motility in response to EA at ST37 with different intensities in WT, , and mice. (a–c) Representative traces of jejunal motility with different intensities in WT, , and mice. (d–f) The fitting curve of enhanced effect of EA with different intensities on jejunal motility in WT, , and mice. The three figures show the “intensity-response” relationships between the different intensities of EA (1/2/4/6/8 mA) and the change in jejunal pressure. (g) The fitting curve of enhanced effect of EA with different intensities on jejunal motility in WT, , and mice. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM ( mice). versus WT mice and versus mice; independent-samples t-test. WT: wild-type.
