Table 6.

The changes of fecal weight, triglyceride, and total cholesterol levels of HF-diet-fed rats supplemented with or without orlistat and RMD for 8 weeks.

Parameters NC HF HO FS
Fecal wet weight (g/day) 2.0 ± 0.2 1.9 ± 0.2 5.7 ± 0.7 **,## 1.4 ± 0.2 **,##
Fecal dry weight (g/day) 1.9 ± 0.2 1.7 ± 0.1 * 4.0 ± 0.4 **,## 1.0 ± 0.1 **,##
Triglyceride (mg/g feces) 2.5 ± 1.4 3.1 ± 0.7 * 138.1 ± 46.8 **,## 4.7 ± 0.9 **,##
Total cholesterol (mg/g feces) 2.4 ± 0.6 a 12.8 ± 3.1 ** 13.9 ± 2.1 ** 24.6 ± 4.1 **,##

Results are expressed as mean ± S.D. (n = 8 rats per group). * present p < 0.05, ** present p < 0.01 as compared with NC group; # present p < 0.05, ## present p < 0.01 as compared with HF group. NC: normal control diet; HF: high-fat diet; HO: high-fat diet containing 0.2% orlistat; FS: high-fat diet containing 5% Fibersol-2.
