TXYF treatment affected the level of 5-HT and the expression of associated pathway genes in IBS-D rats. (A) TXYF treatment decreased the colonic 5-HT level in IBS-D model rats. (B) TXYF treatment up-regulated the expression of Sert and down-regulated the expression of 5Ht2ar in colonic tissue of IBS rats (Fold change relative to the IBS group is shown). (C) After TXYF treatment, the mRNA expression levels of Tph1 and Tph2 in colonic mucosa of IBS rats were down-regulated (Fold change relative to the IBS group is shown). Control; IBS; and TXYF+IBS (n = 10 per group). Data are presented as mean ± SD. P < 0.05 and ∗∗P < 0.01.
