Effect of Rhei Radix et Rhizoma on Gastrointestinal Function of Normal Rats Before and After Simmering
To investigate the effect of Rhei Radix et Rhizoma on gastrointestinal function of normal rats and explore its therapeutic mechanism
and compare the difference of this herb before and after simmering.
Method:
2
Healthy SD rats were randomly divided into 7 groups
including the blank group
the high
medium and low dose groups of raw Rhei Radix et Rhizoma(1.5
3.0
6.0 g·kg
-1
·d
-1
) and the high
medium and low dose groups of simmered Rhei Radix et Rhizoma(1.5
3.0
6.0 g·kg
-1
·d
-1
)
eight rats in each group were continuous intragastric administration for 10 days
the effect of Rhei Radix et Rhizoma on gastrointestinal function of rats were evaluated by body weight
food intake
gastric remnant rate
small intestine propelling rate
stomach weight coefficient and gastrointestinal tissue morphology; enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) was used to detect contents of motilin(MTL) in rat plasma and gastrin(GAS)
tumor necrosis factor-
α
(TNF-
α
)
interleukin-10(IL-10) in rat serum
the mechanism of effect of Rhei Radix et Rhizoma on gastrointestinal function was explored and the effect of Rhei Radix et Rhizoma on gastrointestinal function of normal rats before and after simmering was compared.
Result:
2
In each administration group
weight growth of rats was slowed down
gastric emptying and intestinal propulsion were inhibited
inflammatory reaction was triggered
and gastric mucosal injury was increased.Compared with the blank group
except for the low-dose and medium-dose groups of simmered Rhei Radix et Rhizoma
stomach weight coefficient
gastric remnant rate and content of TNF-
α
of rats were significantly increased(
P
<
0.05
P
<
0.01)
and the content of IL-10 was significantly reduced
in addition to the low-dose group of simmered Rhei Radix et Rhizoma
the weight
small intestine propelling rate
contents of GAS and MTL of rats were significantly decreased(
P
<
0.05
P
<
0.01). Compared with the isodose raw Rhei Radix et Rhizoma group
the weight
small intestine propelling rate
contents of GAS
IL-10 and MTL were all increased with different degrees
the gastric weight coefficient
gastric remnant rate and content of TNF-
α
of rats were all decreased to different degrees.
Conclusion:
2
Gastrointestinal dysfunction caused by Rhei Radix et Rhizoma is related to inhibiting the expression of gastrointestinal hormones and promoting the expression of inflammatory cytokines
in addition
the effect of " stomach injured by bitterness and cold property" of Rhei Radix et Rhizoma is weakened after simmering
which provides scientific basis for clinical rational use of Rhei Radix et Rhizoma.
