Effects of ramie leaf powder on gastrointestinal transit time (a) and intestine length (b) in loperamide‐induced constipation 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. NS: not significantly different among groups
