Changes of colonic motility in A53T and WT mice with high dietary iron. The colonic motility was observed in A53T mice and WT mice. In A53T mice, dry weight of stool (B) and stool frequency (D) in the high dietary iron group were lower than the basal dietary iron group, although no changes were observed in wet weight of stool (A) and water content of stool (C). In WT mice, compared to the basal dietary iron group, the high dietary iron group showed decreased wet weight of stool (A) and dry weight of stool (B), although there were no variations either in water content of stool (C) or stool frequency (D). Each bar represented the mean ± SEM. *P < 0.05, compared with the corresponding basal dietary iron group, n = 6.
