Abstract
Oriental medicine uses acupuncture at GV01 acupoint with great success to treat diarrhea. Acupuncture at GV01 significantly reduced the colonic motility and inflammation in colitic rats. Naloxone pretreatment blocked these effects. The therapeutic effects of acupuncture at GV01 in colitis may involve endogenous opioid pathways.
