"[Primary source] measured water by evaporating
gastrointestinal contents to dryness". |
| Comments |
"The total amount of water
present in the rat gastrointestinal contents was similar to that
reported by Cizek et al (primary source), who measured water by evaporating
gastrointestinal contents to dryness and reported that
gut water represented 1.8% (fasted) and 4.5% (fed) of total
body weight (198–232 g) of female rats." |
