[Effect of electroacupuncture on gastric acid secretion and gut hormones].
21 patients with mild type of chronic superficial gastritis were selected in this study. The effect of electroacupuncture in Zhongwan (RM12), Neiguan (P6) and Sanyinjiao (Sp6) on gastric acid secretion, serum gastrin, plasma somatostatin, plasma motilin concentration and erythrocyte acetylcholinesterase (AchE) activity were observed. The results were as follows: There were significant decreases in gastric acid output, serum gastrin concentration and AchE activity (P < 0.05), but no significant changes in plasma somatostatin and motilin concentration (P > 0.05) after simultaneous electroacupuncture in Zhongwan, Neiguan and Sanyinjiao.
