摘要

To clarify the effects of acupuncture stimulation at Zusanli (ST 36) on the hormonal changes. Eight-week-old male C57BL/6 mice received acupuncture stimulation at acupoint ST 36 or Quchi (LI 11) once a day for 3 or 5 days in the acupuncture-stimulated groups

but not received in the normal group (n=6 in each group). On day 3 or 5

animals were given 0.1 mL of charcoal orally with a bulbed steel needle

30 min after the last acupuncture stimulation. Ten minutes later

mice were anesthetized

and the intestinal transit and the concentrations of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP)

motilin

ghrelin and gastrin in the serum were measured. Compared to no acupuncture stimulation

acupuncture stimulation at ST 36 for 5 days increased the intestinal transit and down-regulated the concentration of VIP and up-regulated the concentrations of motilin

ghrelin and gastrin (P<0.05 or 0.01)

whereas acupuncture stimulation at LI 11 did not change them signifificantly (P>0.05). Acupuncture stimulation at ST 36 for 5 days enhances the small intestinal motility and regulates the secretion of hormones related to small intestinal motility.
