Abstract
The aim of the present work is to observe changes in endothelium-derived factors-nitric oxide (NO) and endothelin (ET), with special reference to the regu. Lative role of electroacupuncture (EA) in injured gastric mucosa of rat by ethanol. The resutls suggest that NO plays a critical part in protecting gastric mucosa against injury, which is also responsible for the protective effect of EA on injury of gastric mucosa.
