Abstract: The effects of Hubei Qingzhuan tea on intestinal sensitivity in IBS-D mouse model were investigated. The results showed, compared with the normal group, the control group had a significant reduction in the pain threshold, and marked increase in the serum level of inflammatory cytokines PGE2, TNF-alpha, tryptase. Compared with the control group, both the low and high dose of Qingzhuan tea significantly increased the pain threshold and markedly decreased the serum level of inflammatory cytokines PGE2, TNF-alpha, tryptase by a dose dependent manner. It is concluded that Qingzhuan tea could significantly decrease the intestinal sensitivity of IBS-D mice, which might be related to the inhibition of serum PGE2, TNF-alpha and tryptase levels.

Key words: Hubei Qingzhuan tea, IBS-D, visceral sensitivity, colon tissue, inflammatory cytokines
