Figure 5Influence of reserpine treatment (1 μg/d for 14 days) and VXP on acetylcholine level in colonic tissue in group without colitis and group with 5 days DSS-induced colitis. VXP or colitis alone significantly decreased the level of acetylcholine in mice without colitis (
n = 10). A greater decrease was found in the colitic group with reserpine or VXP treatment (
n = 12). *
P < 0.05,
n ≥ 8. The values are shown as means ± SEM.
