Colonic Transit Time and Gut Peptides in Adult Patients with Slow and Normal Colonic Transit Constipation

Figure 2

The figure plots the serial changes in the GI peptide concentrations in healthy controls (HC) and constipated patients with normal transit constipation (NTC) and slow transit constipation (STC) recorded at baseline and every 30 minutes up to 180 minutes following meal administration. Data reported as median and the 25th–75th percentile. Each sample time was analysed by Kruskal-Wallis and Dunn’s multiple comparison test ( versus HC, versus NTC, ).
