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

Figure 6 Effect of electroacupuncture at ST36 on gastric motility after microinjection of different amino acids. A: Percentage change of gastric movement by electroacupuncture (EA) at ST36 after microinjection of artificial cerebrospinal fluid, GABA, or glutamic acid to the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus nerve; ^aP < 0.05 compared with the control group; B: Waveform of gastric motility induced by EA at ST36 after microinjection of artificial cerebrospinal fluid, γ-aminobutyric acid, or glutamic acid into the DMV. EA: Electroacupuncture; GABA: γ-aminobutyric acid; DMV: Dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus nerve; L-Glu: Glutamate.
