Effect of electroacupuncture on canine pyloric pressure and its relation to somatostatin And nitric oxide

摘要

Purpose of the present study: To explore the effect of electroacupuncture (EA) on ca- nine pyloric pressure and its relation to somatostain (SS) of blood plasma and nitric oxide (NO). Methods: An intra-gastric pressure detector and radioimmunoassay (RIA) and biochemical assay are Used to determine changes of pyloric pressure and frequency, contents of SS and nO of blood plasma After EA stimulation of different acupoints. Results: Following EA of Zusanli (ST 36), the total pres- Sure, basic pressure and systolic frequency of the sphincter muscle of pylorus lowered, plasma SS con- Tent decreased and NO content increased.
