Neural mechanism of gastric motility regulation by electroacupuncture at RN12 and BL21: A paraventricular hypothalamic nucleus-dorsal vagal complex-vagus nerve-gastric channel pathway

Figure 6 Motilin receptor and gastrin receptor expression in the hypothalamus. A: Motilin receptor (MTL-R) and gastrin receptor (GAS-R) protein expression in the hypothalamus is shown by western blotting. Lane a: RN12 + BL21 group; Lane b: BL21 group; Lane c: RN12 group; Lane d: Non-acupoint group; Lane e: Model group; B: Summarized data for the expression of MTL-R and GAS-R by electroacupuncture (EA) stimulation at RN12 and BL21 in the hypothalamus (^bP < 0.01 vs the MOD group; ^dP < 0.01 vs the RN12 + BL21 group.
