Yangyin Runchang Decoction Improves Intestinal Motility in Mice with Atropine/Diphenoxylate-Induced Slow-Transit Constipation

Figure 1

Effects of YRD on the feces of mice with atropine/diphenoxylate-induced STC. (a) Twenty-four-hour fecal volumes declined significantly over 2 weeks in the MC group ( indicates  ); however, at 4 weeks, the 24-h fecal volumes in the L-YRD and H-YRD groups were higher than that of the MC group ( indicates  ). (b) The water content in the feces of mice in the MC group was significantly reduced ( indicates   when compared to the NC group). In mice treated with YRD, the fecal water content was significantly higher, especially in the L-YRD group ( indicates  when compared to the MC group).
