Objective: To observe the effect of moxibustion on intestinal propulsion rate, content of serum D-xylose, content of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and activities of adenosine triphosphatases (ATPase) in jejunum tissues of spleen-deficiency rats, and to explore the effect of moxibustion on the production of ATP and activities of membrane proteins, for analyzing the mechanism of moxibustion in reinforcing the spleen-stomach. Methods: Forty healthy Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups, namely group A (blank control group), gro...
