Abstract
This study was performed to clarify the effect of oculo-acupuncture (OA) on change of serum gastrin concentration. Twenty-three clinically healthy mongrel dogs were used in this study. This study was comprised of two experiments. In experiment 1, the effect of OA (stomach/spleen region) with comparison of non-a cup oint was examined. On the other hand, the effect of OA (stomach/spleen region) with comparison by body acupuncture (BL-21) was also examined in experiment 2. Serum gastrin levels were measured on before, 0, 30, 60 and 120 minutes after treatment in both non-acupoint and stomach/spleen region groups, and BL-21 The results showed that significant decreases in serum gastrin level was detected on 30 mins(p<0.05) after OA when compared with that of non-acupoint group. Serum gastrin concentrations with OA at stomach/spleen region group were significantly decreased on 60 mins (p<0.05) and 120 mins (p<0.01) compared with those of the AP at BL21 group. In conclusion, it was demonstrated that OA at stomach/spleen region had significantly decreased serum gastrin levels in dogs and OA at stomach/spleen region decreased serum gastrin concentration more than that body acupuncture at BL-21.
