Sorbitol-based osmotic diarrhea: Possible causes and mechanism of prevention investigated in rats

Figure 5 Correlation between the sorbitol absorption index (Y axis) and intestinal fluid volume (X axis) of S (□) and S + RG (■) groups in the different segments of the small intestine (SI), colon, and whole intestine. The P values indicate significant differences in the 1^st quarter (P = 0.0064), 2^nd quarter (P = 0.056), last quarter (P = 0.0085) of the small intestine; proximal colon of large intestine (P = 0.0259); and for the whole intestine (P < 0.0001) when S and S + RG groups are compared.
