Objectives: Determinate the dose–response relationship with respect to intestinal motility and the nervous system, of the interaction between the ethanol extract of the J. curcas L. seed and metoclopramide Methods: 90 albino mice were used, which were divided into 10 interaction groups that received 0.5 mg Kg oral (PO) metoclopramide as a fixed dose, and they also received progressively increased doses (100 to 1000 mg/Kg) of an ethanol extract of J. curcas L. seeds. Five additional groups received 0.5 mg metoclopramide PO, 1.5 mg/Kg atropine, 800 mg/Kg J. curcas L., and 0.1 ml/10g distilled water. All groups received oral 5% activated charcoal, 0.1 ml/10g as an intestinal marker. We used the technique described by Arbos et al. for assessing intestinal motility and Irwin's test for assessing the nervous system. The statistical validation of intestine dynamics was performed using Shapiro...

OBJETIVO: Determinar el efecto dosis-respuesta sobre la motilidad intestinal y el sistema nervioso, de la interacción entre el extracto etanólico de las semilla de J. curcas L. y metoclopramida. MÉTODO: Se utilizaron 90 ratones albinos,formando 10 grupos de interacción que recibieron por vía oral (VO), en dosis establecida metoclopramida 0,5 mg/kg y en dosis escalonada extracto etanólico de la semilla de J. curcas L. (100 a 1000 mg/kg). Otros 5 grupos recibieron por VO, 0,5 mg/kg de metoclopramida; 1,5mg/kg de atropina; 800mg/kg de J. curcas L., 0,1ml/10g de agua destilada y el último grupo no recibió medicamento. A todos los grupos, se les administró vía oral carbón activado al 5 %, 0,1ml/10 g, como marcador intestinal. Se empleó el Método de Arbos et al, para evaluar la motilidad intestinal y la prueba de Irwin para el sistema nervioso. La validación estadística del reco...
