Electroacupuncture at ST36 modulates gastric motility via vagovagal and sympathetic reflexes in rats

Figure 1 Effect of electroacupuncture at ST36 on gastric motility and vagus and sympathetic discharge. A: Effect of electroacupuncture (EA) at ST36 on intragastric pressure; ^aP < 0.05 compared with pre-EA intragastric pressure; B: Waveform of gastric motility by EA at ST36; C: Percent change in discharge of the vagus nerve and greater splanchnic nerve induced by EA at ST36; ^aP < 0.05 compared with sympathetic nerve discharge during the same time interval; D: Waveform of vagus nerve discharge (upper panel) and greater splanchnic nerve discharge (lower panel). EA: Electroacupuncture.
