Figure 7

Fecal output after 17 weeks of chronic exposure to a high fat diet with or without phytosterol or ascorbic acid. As phytosterols are assumed to be 100% excreted, fecal output for animals in the PS and PSAA groups were corrected to account for the 1% of dietary intake of non-digestible phytosterol (PS accounts for ~ 10% of fecal output, based on a daily consumption of 1% of ~3 g chow and average daily fecal output of ~300 mg). Dietary supplements did not result in a significant difference in fecal output when compared to the high fat control diet (n = 7; ANOVA followed by a post-hoc Dunnett's Method).
