NOR: normal group; CON: loperamide-control group (5 mg/kg), PC: lactulose (2010 mg/kg) treated with loperamide; LTL: low dose of lactitol (300 mg/kg) treated with loperamide; LTM: medium dose of lactitol (500 mg/kg) treated with loperamide; LTH: high dose of lactitol (800 mg/kg) treated with loperamide. ## p < 0.01 vs. NOR, and * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01 and *** p < 0.001 vs. CON. ns: not significant.
