Pharmacological Action

1. Impact on human gastric function: Gastric motility is significantly enhanced, which is manifested in prolonged gastric motility and enhanced peristaltic waves, thereby accelerating the gastric emptying rate. Chicken's gizzard lining itself contains only trace amounts of pepsin and amylase. Taking the medicine can increase the secretion of gastric juice and enhance gastric motility. It is believed that this may be due to the stimulation of the nerves and muscles of the stomach wall through humoral factors after digestion and absorption of chicken's gizzard lining. Some people also believe that gastric hormones promote gastric secretion function.

2. Accelerate the excretion of radioactive strontium: Chicken gizzard lining water decoction has a certain effect on accelerating the elimination of radioactive strontium. Its acid extract is more effective than its decoction, and the strontium excreted in urine is 2-3 times higher than the control. It is believed that ammonium chloride in chicken gizzard lining is one of the effective ingredients that promotes strontium excretion.

3. Anti-cancer effect: In vitro test; Chicken's gizzard lining has the effect of inhibiting tumor cells. After oral administration of this product, the secretion volume, acidity and digestive capacity of gastric juice are increased, gastric motility is strengthened, the emptying rate is accelerated, and the secretory effect is even stronger than meat powder. The effect seems to enter the blood after digestion and absorption, and stimulate the neuromuscular device of the stomach wall through humoral factors.
