Chai-Qin-Cheng-Qi Decoction and Carbachol Improve Intestinal Motility by Regulating Protein Kinase C-Mediated Ca2+ Release in Colonic Smooth Muscle Cells in Rats with Acute Necrotising Pancreatitis
Figure 2
Effects of CQCQD and carbachol on colonic histopathology and serum intestinal motility parameters. (a) Representative H&E sections of upper colon (×200). (b) Overall histopathological score of colon. Indirect intestinal motility serum markers: (c) intestinal fatty acid binding protein (iFABP), (d) vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP). (e) Motilin (MTL) and (f) substance P (SP). versus control group; versus L-arginine group; versus CQCQD treated group. Values are means ± SEM of 5–11 animals per group.
