Effect of electroacupuncture stimulation at Zusanli acupoint (ST36) on gastric motility: possible through PKC and MAPK signal transduction pathways

Table 3 Gene change comparing EA promoting group with non-acupoint group

Signal pathway	Gene	Sites	EA/Non-acupoint (Fold change)	EA/Non-acupoint (Fold up- or down-regulation)
PKC	COL1A1	F05	3.60	3.60
PKC	IL1R2	F09	0.39	-2.54
PKC	SERPINE1	G04	0.48	-2.07

Fold-change (2^-ΔΔCt) is the normalized gene expression (2^-ΔCt) in the test sample divided by the normalized gene expression (2^-ΔCt) in the control sample. Fold-regulation represents the fold-change results in a biologically meaningful way. Fold-change values greater than one indicate a positive- or up-regulation, and the fold-regulation is equal to the fold-change. Fold-change values less than one indicate a negative or down-regulation, and the fold-regulation is the negative inverse of the fold-change.
