| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
It is well known that some spices have potential effects on the regulation of digestive system. For example, these are critical components in Kampo medicine. Previous studies were concentrated on the direct effects of these spices, few studies exist on the odor components effects on the digestive movements. We investigated effects of odor components of the spices (ginger,wasabi,sansho) on the ileal smooth muscle activities in Wistar rats. During inhalation of sansho odor, spontaneous ileal activities were not changed,however,amplitudes of the electrical evoked muscle contraction (5V,5Hz,5s) were clearly increased. There were no effects on the ileal muscle activities during inhalation of the other spices. Sex differences were also observed in sansho effects. In female rats,the sansho-induced effects were greater than those in male rats. It is suggested that odor effect of the spices is useful to modulate digestive activities, although it is weaker rather than direct one.
