We investigated the effects of acupuncture on proximal colonic motility in conscious dogs. Two of stainlesssteel electrodes were implanted at the proximal colon in 5 healthy mongrel dogs. Manual acupuncture was applied withoutadditional stimulation at the following acupoints, LI01, LI02, LI03, LI04, LI05, LI06, LI07 or LI11. All dogs exhibitedspontaneous colonic activity. Manual acupuncture at LI06 depressed colonic motility by decreasing the total duration andthe frequency and increasing the cycle length of contractile states. While LI07 inhibited only the total duration, LI03 acu-point significantly depressed the cycle length without affecting other factors of contractile states. These findings dem-onstrated that acupuncture could have specific effects on colonic motility in different ways depending on acupoints.acupuncture at LI06 or LI07 decreasing colonic motility may be used for the treatment of diseases caused by an increasedcolonic motility, and acupuncture at LI03 reducing the cycle length of colonic motility may be useful for constipation. Acu-points of large intestine meridian have point-specific effects on proximal colonic motility in conscious dogs.
