Fig. 1. Atractylodin-exerted contractile-state-dependent regulation on rat jejunal contractility.

Representative traces of atractylodin-exerted stimulatory and inhibitory effects on rat jejunal contractility in CP and DP rats, respectively. Contractile amplitude of jejunal segments in normal contractile state is set to a relative value of 100% (control). Other data are the relative values compared with control. ^**p<0.01 compared with the NC; ^##p<0.01 compared with contractile amplitude of jejunal segments in DP group or CP group before being given atractylodin.
