Table 3

The ink propulsion rate of the small intestine at peak time or 6 h time point after an intragastric given Motilium tablet or domperidone hydrogel to mice at a dose of 5 mg/kg and the average ink propulsion rate of the small intestine after intragastric given physiological saline to mice. Each point represents mean ± S.D. .
