Effects and mechanisms of electroacupuncture on glucagon‐induced small intestinal hypomotility in dogs
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Little is known on the effect of electroacupuncture (EA) (Br Med J, 2, 1976, 1225) on intestinal motility. The aim of this study was to investigate effects and mechanisms of EA on small intestinal contractions, transit, and slow waves in dogs.
