Long-Pulse Gastric Electrical Stimulation Repairs Interstitial Cells of Cajal and Smooth Muscle Cells in the Gastric Antrum of Diabetic Rats

<div>Confocal images of ICC in muscle layers labeled with c-kit (red), Ki67 (green), and Hoechst 33342 (blue). Compared with those in the control group, proliferating ICC were diminished in the DM group and the DM + SGES group. Abundant c-kit/Ki67 double-labeled cells were recognized in the DM + GES1, DM + GES2, and DM + GES3 groups. Scale bars = 20 <i>μ</i>m.</div>
