BACKGROUND
The leaves of Khat are chewed for their central stimulant effect, but their use may cause anorexia and constipation.
METHODS
Gastric emptying of a radio-labelled semi-solid meal was measured in 12 healthy volunteers on two occasions a week apart. Subjects chewed either Khat leaves (Catha edulis) or lettuce for 2 h before the study.
RESULTS
Gastric emptying was significantly (P < 0.02) prolonged after chewing Khat compared with lettuce.
CONCLUSION
The sympathomimetic action of cathinone in Khat may cause the observed delay in gastric emptying.
背景
巧茶树叶因其具有中枢兴奋作用而被咀嚼，但使用后可能会导致厌食和便秘。
方法
在12名健康志愿者中，每周两次测量放射性标记半固体餐的胃排空情况，两次测量间隔一周。在研究前，受试者咀嚼巧茶树叶（Catha edulis）或生菜2小时。
结果
与咀嚼生菜相比，咀嚼巧茶树叶后胃排空显著延长（P < 0.02）。
结论
巧茶中卡西酮的拟交感神经作用可能导致观察到的胃排空延迟。
