Effects of ramie leaf extract on number of fecal pellets (a), wet weight of fecal pellets (b), and fecal water content (c) in rats. NOR, normal diet group; CON, normal diet and loperamide‐treated group; RLEL, ramie leaf extract 200 mg kg⁻¹ day⁻¹ and loperamide‐treated group; RLEH, ramie leaf extract 400 mg kg⁻¹ day⁻¹ and loperamide‐treated group. The values are the mean ± SE of eight rats per group, and different superscript letters indicate significant differences at p < .05 as determined by Tukey's test
