Dietary fiber can be fermented and utilized by gut microbiota to reshape the gut microbiota, thereby alleviating constipation. This experiment mainly studied the physicochemical functions of hawthorn soluble dietary fiber (HSDF)and its effect and mechanism in alleviating constipation in mice. Forty-five mice were divided into blank control group C, model group M, positive control HS group, low-dose LHSDF group (1 g/kg/bw), and high-dose HHSDF group (2 g/kg/bw).

Objective: To investigate whether Hetong decoction (, HTT) alleviates constipation regulating AQPs expression.

Methods: Constipation in rats was induced by loperamide, and rats were randomly assigned into model (saline), HHT-low (95 g/kg), HTT-medium (190 g/kg), HTT-high (380 g/kg) and positive control (mosapride) groups. Then the defecation function, the concentration of serum arginine vasopressin (AVP) and cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP), and the expression of AQP3 and AQP8 in colon tissues were assessed.
