Effects of G-CK on the peristaltic index and frequency of defecation in mice. (a) Effects of G-CK on the peristaltic index when the charcoal meal suspension was given at 30 minutes and 90 minutes after the administration of G-CK; (b) effects of G-CK on the frequency of defecation per hour. Con: 0.5% CMC-Na; LCK: low dose of G-CK (50 mg/kg G-CK); HCK: high dose of G-CK (250 mg/kg G-CK). Values are expressed as the , per group. SD: standard deviation. , , and vs. control group (one-way ANOVA followed by Dunnett -tests).
