Effect of oral administration of TAF- Cs, and loperamide on castor oil induced diarrhea in mice
| Treatment (v.o.) | Dose (mg/kg) | Evacuation Index (EI) |
|---|---|---|
| 12 % Tween 80 solution | - | 15.0 (10.0 - 23.0) |
| Loperamide | 5 | 0.0 (0.9 - 2.0)*** |
| TAF-Cs | 62.5 | 13.5 (6.0 - 16.0) |
| TAF-Cs | 125 | 6.0 (4.0 - 8.0) |
| TAF-Cs | 250 | 1.0 (0.0 - 5.0)** |
| TAF-Cs | 500 | 1.0 (0.0 - 2.0)** |
Data are presented as median (minimum value – maximum value). Kruskal-Wallis test followed by Dunn’s multiple comparison test (** p <0.05, *** p <0.001 compared to the 12% Tween solution group). The TAF-Cs reduced evacuation index (250 and 500 mg/kg) compared to control group (12% Tween 80 solution).
