Table 1.
Fluid transfer in intestine of the rats fed on palm oil diets.
Groups | Body weight range (g) | Serosal fluid transfer (ml/g sac/30 minutes) |
Mucosal fluid transfer (ml/g sac/30 minutes) | Gut fluid uptake (ml/g sac/30 minutes) |
---|---|---|---|---|
Control | 280–310 | 0.195 ± 0.004 | 0.609 ± 0.009 | 0.414 ± 0.009 |

Each value represents mean + SEM, for 20 sacs in 5 rats; NS: not significant versus control;
***P < .001 versus control; anot significant versus FPO; b P < .001 versus FPO.
