Electroacupuncture with different current intensities can improve gastrointestinal motility in diabetic gastroparesis via vagal and sympathetic pathways

Figure 7 Electroacupuncture with different current intensities improves gastric smooth muscle dysfunction in rats with diabetic gastroparesis. A: Hematoxylin-eosin staining (scale bar = 100 μm, n = 6); B-D: Western blotting and quantification of Rho-associated coiled-coil forming protein kinase 1 and Rho guanine nucleotide-binding protein A levels in gastric tissue; E and F: The mRNA levels of Rho-associated coiled-coil forming protein kinase 1 and Rho guanine nucleotide-binding protein A. ^aP < 0.05. DGP: Diabetic gastroparesis; EA: Electroacupuncture; ROCK: Rho-associated coiled-coil forming protein kinase; RhoA: Rho guanine nucleotide-binding protein A.
