The effects of Saiko-ka-ryukotsu-borei-to (SRBT), a Chinese medicinal prescription, on mouse serum amylase activity were investigated in vivo. SRBT was found to not only dose- and/or time-dependently augment amylase activity, but also to increase alpha-amylase protein content and soluble starch metabolic activity. These results provide a rational basis for the clinical use of SRBT that may accompany disease therapy.
