Inhibitory effect of TongXie-YaoFang formula on colonic contraction in rats

Figure 1 Effects of TongXie-YaoFang formula on movement index and contraction frequency of colonic longitudinal smooth muscle strips in rats. A: TongXie-YaoFang (TXYF) formula significantly reduced the movement index (MI) of colonic longitudinal smooth muscle strips (CLSMs) in neonatal maternal separation plus restraint stress (NMS + RS) rats; B: TXYF formula significantly reduced contraction frequency (CF) of CLSMs in NMS + RS rats; C: CF in the three groups after treatment. ^bP < 0.01 vs the normal group; ^dP < 0.01 vs the NMS + RS group.
