Abstract

The present study aimed to expand our previous findings regarding the therapeutic effects and underlying mechanisms of acupuncture at GV01 in colitis. Our results showed that acupuncture at GV01 has antinociceptive effects on referred somatic pain induced by experimental colitis, and that endogenous opioid pathways may mediate these effects.
