Mice received a regimen of CE-7 or Quick Fat for a week. A vehicle (10%
gum arabic), WEA, and EEA at 1,000 mg/kg were orally administered to the
mice. Carmine (10 mg/body) was orally administered to the mice just before
administration of the samples, and then the weights of carmine-containing feces
were measured during consecutive 1-h periods over 8 h. Carmine egestion was
determined as egestion of carmine-containing fecal beads over 30 mg. The
carmine egestion point was classified into three groups; Fast: egested in 2–5 h,
Medium: egested in 5–8 h, Slow: not egested in 8 h after administration n = 8. |
