[Effects of the centipede aqueous extract on animal gastrointestinal function]

In order to investigate the mechanism of Centipede on the function of animal gastrointestinal digestion, we studied the effects of cetipede aqueous extract on animal digestion, secretion and intestional movement. The results showed that the Centipede extract increased the volume of gastric juice and acid, activity of pepsin, volume of pancreatic juice and protein in rat. The Centipede extract also accelerated the mice intestinal movement. The above results revevaled that Centipede could regulate the function of the gastrointestinal digestion, secretion and movement.
