Function and regulation of cholecystokinin octapeptide, β-endorp hin and gastrin in anorexic infantile rats treated with ErBao Granules

Figure 1 Daily food intake of rats in four groups. Rats of blank control group were fed with common forage. Rats of other three groups were fed with model forage. ErBao and saline were administered (ig) from the d 8 to d 28. Data are presented as the meanÀSE form 12 rats. ^aStatistically significant difference from control, P < 0.05, ^bP < 0. 01. At d 7, food intake of model control group, low dose group, and high dose group all was significantly lower than blank control group (t = 3.76, P < 0.01; t = 2.58,P < 0.05; t = 2.83, P < 0.01, respectively). At d 14 food intake of the model control group, low dose group, and high dose group was still lower than blank control group (t = 4.76, P < 0.01; t = 2.53, P < 0.05; t = 2.38, P < 0.05, respectively). At d 21, only model control group was lower than blank control group (t = 4.71, P < 0.01). At d 27, still only model control group was lower than blank control group (t = 2.33, P < 0.05).
