[Effect of Acorus tatarinowii Schott. on gastrointestinal myoelectric activity in rats].
The effect of Acorus tatarinowii on the gastrointestinal myoelectric activity and mechanism in rats was studied electrio-physiologically. The result indicates that Acorus tatarinowii helps inhibit the gastrointestinal myoelectric activity. This inhibitory effect is believed to take place through the blocking of cholinergic M and non-cholinergic M receptors, and has nothing to do with adrenergic alpha and beta receptors.
