This invention discloses the application of
Amomum villosum extract in the preparation of drugs for the prevention and treatment of functional dyspepsia, belonging to the field of
biotechnology. The extract, when applied to the prevention and / or treatment of functional dyspepsia, can increase
plasma levels of
motilin (MTL) and
gastrin (GAS), promote gastrointestinal
motility, significantly improve
gastric emptying rate in functional dyspepsia model mice, improve
pathological damage to
gastric tissue, restore mitochondrial function in
gastric tissue, and regulate the expression of
related factors in
gastric tissue. Even at low doses, it can effectively increase
plasma MTL and GAS levels in loperamide
hydrochloride-induced functional dyspepsia model mice, improve
gastric emptying rate, effectively improve
pathological damage to gastric tissue in these mice, and regulate the expression of
related factors in the gastric tissue. The raw materials of this invention are derived from natural products, are easy to collect, and have high safety.
