Figure 1From: Effects of tegaserod on bile composition and hepatic secretion in Richardson ground squirrels on an enriched cholesterol dietBiliary lipid concentrations and cholesterol saturation index for gallbladder bile. Bile acids, phospholipids, cholesterol concentrations (nmol/l) and cholesterol saturation index (CSI %) were measured in four groups of animals: VN = vehicle + normal diet (n = 17), VC = vehicle + cholesterol diet (n = 15), TN = tegaserod + normal diet (n = 15), and TC = tegaserod + cholesterol diet (n = 17). Significance (P < 0.05): * less than VC; # less than VN; ## greater than VN.Back to article page
