[The effect of Pinellia processed by ginger juice on gastric and intestinal function of animals]

The experimental research has shown that neither pinellia processed by ginger juice and alum nor pinellia boiled by ginger juice have any marked influence on the secretion of PGE2 in rat gastric juice, or on the activity of gastric proteinase in rats. Both the processed products of pinellia can obviously inhibit the gastric and intestinal motility in mice. Raw pinellia can strongly inhibit the secretion of PGE2, gastric acidity and gastric proteinase in rats, but acts not so heavily on their gastric secretion and appears rather harmful to the gastric mucosa in rats. Raw pinellia can also obviously accelerate the gastric and intestinal motility in rats.
