Electroacupuncture Alleviates Visceral Hypersensitivity in IBS-D Rats by Inhibiting EGCs Activity through Regulating BDNF/TrkB Signaling Pathway

<div>Structure and morphology of EGCs. (a) EGCs of the blank control group; (b) EGCs of the Model group; (c) EGCs of the EA group; (d) EGCs of the EA + TrkB agonist group; (e) EGCs of the EA + DMSO group. Images of EGCs were obtained under TEM (×20000). N, nucleus; Mi, mitochondria; RER, rough endoplasmic reticulum; and GB, Golgi apparatus; widened perinuclear space (<b>↑</b>), mitochondria slightly swollen (<b>↑</b>), dilated rough endoplasmic reticulum (<b>↑</b>), and autophagy (<b>↑</b>).</div>
