Inhibitory effect and mechanism of acarbose combined with gymnemic acid on maltose absorption in rat intestine

Figure 5 The relationship of GA’s inhibitory effects on absorption of the maltose and on mobility of the intestinal ring. A, an example of the inhibitory effect of GA (0.8 g/L) on the intestinal auto-rhythmic contraction. B, dose-dependently inhibitory effect of GA on amplitude of the small intestinal rings which is expressed as the tension induced by the auto-rhythmic contraction in the present different doses of GA. C, correlation of GA’s inhibitory effects on absorption of maltose and on tension of the intestinal ring. Each point comes from one dose of GA. The tension is calculated from the function of curve in the Figure 5B.
