Fig. 4. – Oral absorption of macromolecular dextrans is significantly higher in infant mice compared to adults.

Fig. 4. –

In these experiments, A) 4 kDa and B) 70 kDa FITC-dextrans were orally administered to 2-week-old (infant; black) and 12-week-old (adult; blue) mice at a dose of 200 mg/kg. C) Resultant areas under the curve for both FD4 and FD70 decreased significantly in older animals over 3 hours. Values represent the mean ± SEM (n = 6). Student’s unpaired t test: *** P < 0.001 compared to adult mice.
