The Traditional Japanese Medicine Rikkunshito Promotes Gastric Emptying via the Antagonistic Action of the 5-HT3 Receptor Pathway in Rats
Figure 6
Inhibition of the improvement in 5-HT-induced delay in gastric emptying by rikkunshito and ondansetron by pretreatment with atropine: there was no effect of pretreatment with atropine alone at 1 mg kg−1 on 5-HT-induced delay in gastric emptying. The improvement in 5-HT-induced delay in gastric emptying by rikkunshito and ondansetron was completely blocked by pretreatment with atropine. Each column represents the mean ± SEM of eight rats. **P < .01: significantly different from each paired group.
