Figure 5 Effect of electroacupuncture on pyroptosis of M2 macrophages in the gastric muscle layer of diabetic gastroparesis rats.
A: Representative immunofluorescence images showing Gasdermin D (green), CD206+ cells (red), and DAPI (blue) in each group (scale bar: 50 μm); B and C: Quantitative analysis of the relative fluorescence areas of CD206+ cells and Gasdermin D. Data are expressed as mean ± SD (n = 6). aP < 0.05 vs control group, and bP < 0.05 vs diabetic gastroparesis group. DGP: Diabetic gastroparesis; SEA: Sham-electroacupuncture; LEA: Low-frequency electroacupuncture; HEA: High-frequency electroacupuncture; GSDMD: Gasdermin D.
