Synchronized Dual Pulse Gastric Electrical Stimulation Induces Activation of Enteric Glial Cells in Rats with Diabetic Gastroparesis
Figure 3
(a) Ultrastructure images of EGC in rat myenteric plexus of ECN, EDM, EDM + ASGES, and EDM+CSGES. Smooth endoplasmic reticulum (letter E), Golgi apparatus (letter G), mitochondria (letter M), and filaments are abundant in cytoplast of ECN and EDM. The number of mitochondria and filaments increased after ASGES and CSGES. And lysosome can be observed in EDM after ASGES. (b) Ultrastructure images of EGC in TCN, TDM, TDM + ASGES, and TDM + CSGES. Mild vacuolization of mitochondria can be observed in cytoplast of TCN. Dilation of endoplasmic reticulum and swelling of mitochondria in cytoplast can be observed in TDM and the filaments decreased seriously. The number of mitochondria and filaments increased after ASGES and CSGES. Note: ASGES: SGES-60 mins; CSGES: SGES-7 days, 60 mins/day.
