Effect of A. incarnata root extract enriched with pregnane glycosides (incarnatin) on gastrointestinal food transit. (A) Gastric emptying of male rats (n = 6) 1 h after receiving a single dose of 50 or 100 mg/kg incarnatin. (B) Intestinal transit of male rats (n = 6) as measured by the location of the mean geometric center of migrating dye after receiving a single dose of 50 or 100 mg/kg incarnatin. (C) Colonic motor function of male rats (n = 6) measured by the number of fecal pellets expelled by each animal in 1 h following the administration of 50 or 100 mg/kg incarnatin. Asterisks indicate a significant difference (*p < 0.05, and **p < 0.01) from respective controls as determined by one-way ANOVA and Dunnett’s post-test.
