Fig 8. Concentrations of GI hormones in Lop+TEE treated constipation rats.

Fig 8

The concentration of (A) CCK, (B) gastrin, and (C) SS was measured in the transverse colon homogenate by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The minimum detectable concentration of each kit is 0.1–1,000 pg/mL of CCK, 0.312–20 pg/mL of gastrin, and 4.7–300 pg/mL of SS. Five to six rats per group were used in preparation of tissue homogenate, and hormone level was assayed in duplicate in each sample. The data are reported as the mean ± SD. *, p<0.05 compared to the No treated group. #, p<0.05 compared to the Lop+Vehicle treated group. Abbreviations: Lop, Loperamide; GI, Gastrointestinal; CCK, Cholecystokinin; SS, somatostatin.
