Effects of Lizhong Tang on gastrointestinal motility in mice

Figure 5 Effect of the Lizhong Tang extract on accelerating gastric emptying. After a 24 h fast, the animals (n = 7/each group) were orally administered the indicated dosages of the Lizhong Tang extract, 5 mg/kg of a 5-HT₄ receptor agonist (mosapride), 5 mg/kg of a dopamine receptor antagonist (domperidone), or distilled water (DW; controls). The gastric emptying (GE) percentages were calculated as described in the Materials and Methods. The bars represent means ± SE. ^aP < 0.05; ^bP < 0.01; significantly different from the normal controls. Mosa.: Mosapride. Dom.: Domperidone.
