Induction of the secretory volume decrease (SVD) in human colonic epithelial Caco-2 cells by four herbal components in Japanese Kampo laxative medicines Junchoto and Mashiningan. (a) Time courses of changes in the mean cell volume. At time 0, Kyonin (KYN), Tonin (TON), Masinin (MSN), or Daio (DIO) was applied at 400 μg/ml except under the control condition. SVD events were monitored by the electronic sizing technique. (b) Percentage of the cell volume after 30 min of treatment with each herbal component relative to the initial cell volume. Each column represents the mean ± S.E.M. (n = 5). *P < 0.05 compared with the control volume.
