Simultaneously, changes in the blood pressure and cardiac rate were measured. Furthermore, the effect of atropine on these responses to the stimulation was also studied.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n Electrical stimulation of the pudendal nerve significantly increased blood flow in the sciatic nerve transiently without increasing heart rate and systemic blood pressure. The significant increase in the sciatic nerve blood flow disappeared after administration of atropine.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n Electrical stimulation of the pudendal nerve causes a transient and significant increase in sciatic nerve blood flow. This response is eliminated or attenuated by administration of atropine, indicating that it occurs mainly via cholinergic nerves.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1136\/aim.26.3.145","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,4,8]],"date-time":"2009-04-08T12:53:12Z","timestamp":1239195192000},"page":"145-148","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["The Effect of Electrical Stimulation of the Pudendal Nerve on Sciatic Nerve Blood Flow in Animals"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"26","author":[{"given":"Motohiro","family":"Inoue","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Acupuncture and Moxibustion Meiji University of Integrative Medicine Kyoto, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tatsuya","family":"Hojo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedics Graduate School of Medical Science Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine Kyoto, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Miwa","family":"Nakajima","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopedic Surgery"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hiroshi","family":"Kitakoji","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Acupuncture and Moxibustion"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Megumi","family":"Itoi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yasukazu","family":"Katsumi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery Meiji University of Integrative Medicine Kyoto, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2008,9,1]]},"reference":[{"issue":"4","key":"bibr1-aim.26.3.145","first-page":"584","volume":"55","author":"Sugimoto Y","year":"2005","journal-title":"J Japan Soc Acupunct Moxibustion"},{"issue":"2","key":"bibr2-aim.26.3.145","first-page":"53","volume":"43","author":"Yamagiwa K","year":"1993","journal-title":"J Japan Soc Acupunct Moxibustion"},{"key":"bibr3-aim.26.3.145","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0168-0102(92)90004-V"},{"key":"bibr4-aim.26.3.145","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/nau.20118"},{"key":"bibr5-aim.26.3.145","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/aim.26.3.140"},{"key":"bibr6-aim.26.3.145","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1142\/S0192415X80000141"},{"issue":"4","key":"bibr7-aim.26.3.145","first-page":"201","volume":"62","author":"Kasuya D","year":"1999","journal-title":"J Jph Soc Balneal Climatol Phys Med"},{"key":"bibr8-aim.26.3.145","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/aim.23.1.27"},{"key":"bibr9-aim.26.3.145","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1089\/107555303322284767"},{"key":"bibr10-aim.26.3.145","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0024-3205(76)90084-9"},{"key":"bibr11-aim.26.3.145","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0006-8993(79)90629-2"},{"key":"bibr12-aim.26.3.145","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/aim.23.4.166"}],"container-title":["Acupuncture in Medicine"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1136\/aim.26.3.145","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1136\/aim.26.3.145","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,28]],"date-time":"2026-04-28T09:13:59Z","timestamp":1777367639000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1136\/aim.26.3.145"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2008,9]]},"references-count":12,"journal-issue":{"issue":"3","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2008,9]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1136\/aim.26.3.145"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/aim.26.3.145","relation":{},"ISSN":["0964-5284","1759-9873"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0964-5284","type":"print"},{"value":"1759-9873","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2008,9]]}}}
