Electroacupuncture at Acupoint ST36 (Zusanli) Improves Intestinal Motility Dysfunction Via Increasing the Proportion of Cholinergic Neurons in Rat Ileal Myenteric Ganglia after Severe Acute Pancreatitis
Figure 3
Effect of electroacupuncture on the proportion of ChAT-IR neurons. Double labeling for HuC/D (green), ChAT (red), and merge (yellow, arrows) of whole-mount preparations of myenteric ganglia. Magnification: ×200 (a–i). The ratio of ChAT-IR immunoreactive myenteric neurons (j) n = 6 for each group). ∗∗ vs. control group, ## vs. EA group.
