TABLE 3. Segmental Colon Transit Time According to Total Energy Expenditure (TEE).

TEE
L (n = 28) M (n = 22) H (n = 17) Total (n = 67)
RCTT (hour) 14.9 ± 12.2 20.3 ± 15.5 9.3 ± 9.3a 15.3 ± 13.3
LCTT (hour) 27.9 ± 26.9 15.5 ± 10.1b 9.8 ± 11.9c 19.2 ± 20.6
RSCTT (hour) 22.2 ± 16.6 10.9 ± 11.1d 17.9 ± 20.0 17.4 ± 16.5
TCTT (hour) 65.1 ± 39.8 46.8 ± 25.8 37.2 ± 34.4e 52.0 ± 35.9

Note. Values are mean ± SD. H = high total energy expenditure group; L = low total energy expenditure group; LCTT = left colon transit time; M = moderate total energy expenditure group; RCTT = right colon transit time; RSCTT = recto-sigmoid colon transit time; TCTT = total colon transit time.
