Abstract
Rice-based solution was studied for its antidiarrheal potencies. Two experiments were conducted to test its antisecretory and antimotility properties on intestine. In experiment 1, studies in a model of prostaglandins-induced secretory diarrhea in rat jejunum and colon have been performed to verify the antisecretory effect of a rice-based solution. When administered intraluminally, rice water reduced dose dependently the prostaglandin E1-induced net fluid secretion in both intestinal segments. In experiment 2, rice water was tested for its potency as inhibitor of electrically-evoked contractions of the myenteric plexus-longitudinal muscle preparation of guinea-pig small intestine. Aqueous rice extract exerts a myorelaxant effect, it decreases twitch heights of the intestinal strip by acting either on the mucosal or the serosal side. This effect seems to be mediated by an intramural modulatory influence on smooth muscle excitability.
