title: [Effect of GG on the occurrence of tongue retropulsion--an experimental observation of electromyography].
abstract: To evaluate the effect of GG activity on tongue backwardness during sleep, we conducted experiments on 16 rabbits. The electric activities of the muscles involved in tongue motion were recorded in different phases (wakefulness, presnoring and snoring) with unipolar electrodes inserted into the muscles under direct vision. The observations demonstrated that GG played a more active role in the occurrence of tongue backwardness during sleep.
