Effects of Different Local Moxibustion-Like Stimuli at Zusanli (ST36) and Zhongwan (CV12) on Gastric Motility and Its Underlying Receptor Mechanism

Figure 3

Modulation of gastric motility by 45°C LMS at ST36 among three groups of mice. (a) Representative examples of the alterations of gastric contraction wave induced by 45°C LMS at ST36. (b), (c), and (d) display the pooled data corresponding to the effects of 45°C LMS at ST36 on the amplitude, integral, and frequency of gastric motility in 180 s, respectively (, , and , compared with the values before LMS application; , compared with the facilitatory effect of 45°C LMS at ST36 in C57BL/6 mice).
