Assessment of colonic transit time in FMS and control rats (n = 12 per group). (A) The GC was used as the measure of colonic transit time (see text for calculation of GC). The data are shown as mean ± standard error; the FMS group showed a significantly greater measure of GC than the control group (p <.002). (B) Percentage of Tc 99m recovered in the stool of FMS and control rats (n = 12 per group). The data are shown as mean ± standard error; the FMS group showed a statistically significant increase in the amount of Tc 99m excreted in the stool compared with the control group (p <.001).
