Effect on glycemia in rats with type 2 diabetes induced by streptozotocin: low-frequency electro-pulse needling stimulated Weiwanxiashu (EX-B 3) and Zusanli (ST 36)

EA Weiwanxiashu (EX-B 3) alone has significant effect on glycemia. EA Weiwanxiashu (EX-B 3) plus glimepiride further strengthen the effect. The regulation of the GLP-1R in pancreas and skeletal muscle might be mechanism underpinning the effect.
