Effect of electroacupuncture at “Neiguan” (PC 6) and “Zusanli” (ST 36) on gastrointestinal hormone in the antral tissue of rats with functional dyspepsia
To observe the effects of electroacupuncture (EA) at “Neiguan” (PC 6) and “Zusanli”(ST 36) on the gastric emptying rate
the level of serotonin (5-HT) and the protein expression of motilin (MTL)
ghrelin
substance P (SP) and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) in the antral tissue of the rats with functional dyspepsia (FD) and explore the effect mechanism of EA in treatment of FD.
Methods
2
A total of 21 SPF male SD rat pups were randomly divided into a normal group
a model group and an EA group
with 7 rats in each group. In the model group and the EA group
FD model was prepared by the gavage with 0.1% sucrose iodoacetamide solution combined with the modified small platform method. After the successful modeling
EA was applied to “Neiguan” (PC 6) and “Zusanli”(ST 36) in the rats of the EA group
with disperse-dense wave
20 Hz/100 Hz in frequency
stimulated for 30 min
once daily
for 7 days consecutively. Before and after intervention
the general condition of the rats was observed in each group. After the completion of intervention
the gastric emptying rate was measured
the morphological changes of gastric antral tissue were observed using HE staining
the level of 5-HT was detected with ELISA method
and the protein expression of MTL
ghrelin
SP
and VIP was determined with Western blot method in the antral tissue of rats.
Results
2
In the normal group
the rats were in a good mental state
with lustrous fur
flexible movement and the increase of food intake and body mass. In the model group
the rats were poor in mental state
lack of lustre in fur
preference for the body curled up
reduced activity and response; and a part of rats had loose stool
obviously enlarged gastric body and gastric food retention. In the EA group
the general condition of rats
e.g. the mental state
food intake and activity
were improved
the gastric body got smaller obviously and the gastric food retention was reduced when compared with the model group. The antral structure was intact
the glands were rich and no injury of the gastric mucosa was found
e.g. inflammatory reaction and edema in the rats of each group. Compared with the normal group
the gastric emptying rate was decreased (
P
<
0.01)
5-HT level was increased (
P<
0.01)
the protein expression of MTL and ghrelin was reduced (
P
<
0.01) and that of VIP was elevated (
P<
0.01) in the rats of the model group. The gastric emptying rate was increased (
P
<
0.01)
5-HT level was decreased (
P<
0.01)
and the protein expression of MTL and ghrelin was elevated (
P
<
0.05
P<
0.01) in the rats of the EA group when compared with those in the model group.
Conclusion
2
Electroacupuncture at “Neiguan” (PC 6) and “Zusanli”(ST 36) may effectively relieve gastric dysfunction
strengthen gastric motility and promote gastric emptying so as to alleviate the symptoms of dyspepsia in FD rats
and its mechanism may be related to the regulation of gastrointestinal hormones in the antral tissue.
