Objective: To observe the effect of heat-sensitive moxibustion at "Zhongwan" (CV 12) on serum growth hormone (GH) and pepsinogen (PG) in chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) rats, and to explore the potential mechanism of heat-sensitive moxibustion for CAG.
Methods: A total of 66 male SD rats were randomized into a blank group (12 rats) and a model establishment group (54 rats). No intervention was given in the blank group.
