Electroacupuncture Stimulation at CV12 Inhibits Gastric Motility via TRPV1 Receptor

Figure 4

Gastric responses to electroacupuncture (EA) stimulation at CV12 in TRPV1^−/− mice. (a) Significant inhibition of gastric motility was induced by EA at intensities 2 mA (𝑛=10) and 4 mA (𝑛=10). **: Versus baseline, 𝑃<0.001. (b)–(d) Representative examples of EA stimulation at CV12 with different intensities. (e) Percentage inhibition of gastric motility after EA stimulation at CV12 with different intensities in all three experimental groups. #: Versus WT, 𝑃<0.05; ##: Versus WT, 𝑃<0.01; ΔΔ: Versus 1 mA, 𝑃<0.001; ★: Versus 2 mA, 𝑃<0.05.
