JCM-16021, a Chinese Herbal Formula, Attenuated Visceral Hyperalgesia in TNBS-Induced Postinflammatory Irritable Bowel Syndrome through Reducing Colonic EC Cell Hyperplasia and Serotonin Availability in Rats
Figure 1
Effects of JCM-16021 on visceral hypersensitivity of PI-IBS rats. (a) depicts the analgesic effect of JCM-16021 in PI-IBS rats in terms of pain threshold pressure, while (b) depicts the effect of JCM-16021 on visceral motor response to graded CRD in PI-IBS rats. The representative EMG graphs from normal rats, PI-IBS rats, and high-dose JCM-16021 treated rats in a 20 s noxious (80 mmHg) colorectal distension period are shown in (c). Data are presented as mean ± S.E.M., per group in AWR test, per group in EMG recording test. versus normal rats, , versus PI-IBS rats (t-test).
