ABSTRACT Objective: To study roles of cholinergic M 2 and M 3 receptors in the motility reduction of small intestine (SI) in spleen qi deficiency. Methods: 16 male SD rats were randomly divided in the control group and spleen qi deficiency group (model group)—8 rats each group; spleen qi deficiency model of the improper diet and overfatigue was established; the SI propelling rate (S...
