Abstract

Since old times, the acupuncture has used for treatment in Japan. Above all, the Zusanli and Yanglingquan have frequently been used, but there has been no experimental medical study on these acupuncture treatment. The authors used gastrofiberscope to study changes in gastric secretion. The results indicated that the Zusanli loci stimulate gastric juice secretion and reduce pH, while the Yanglingquan loci have a weakly opposite effect. Concerning gastric hormones, stimulation of the Zusanli loci decreased gastrin and increased secretion levels, whereas the Yanglingquan loci decreased both. Furthermore, stimulation of the Zusanli loci resulted in elevation of the abdominal skin temperature and levels of 5-(hydroxytryptamine), whereas the yanglingquan loci resulted in a decrease in both of them.
