Feces-related parameters analyses and GI transit rate. A Feces-related parameters analyses. After collecting stools from the metabolic cage, their actual images were taken immediately, and sequentially the values of three parameters were analyzed. B GI transit rate and length. After measuring the distance of charcoal meal travel and total length of the GI tract, GI transit rate was then calculated based on these data. The feces collection and GI transit rate experiment were prepared from four to six rats per group, and parameters for these experiment was analyzed in duplicate. All values in results are represented as the means ± standard deviation (SD). *Indicated statically significance compared to the No treated SD rats, while # indicated statically significance compared to the Lm + Vehicle treated SD rats. Abbreviation: Lm, Loperamide; Pt, Phlorotannins
