The Apparent Coefficient of Diffusion (ADC), which is a measure of the rate of microscopic water diffusion thus providing an estimate of water motility in a voxel [24], can be used to determine microstructure changes within a brain region.
Mean diffusivity (MD), measured by diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), is the rate of diffusivity and a direction-independent measure of the average diffusivity reflecting water motility in a voxel.
Torch light examination to assess for five abnormal signs: red eye, head tilt, white pupillary reflex, deviation of eye and watering Motility examination Cover test.
Colonic bile acids become deconjugated and dehydroxylated, producing diarrhea from a number of processes, including inducing secretion of sodium and water, increasing colonic motility thereby stimulating defecation, and causing damage to the mucosa by increasing the mucosal permeability.
The purpose of the current study is to test the direct effects of environmentally relevant concentrations of genistein in activation water on the motility and velocity of sperm in the fighting fish, Betta splendens.
To test the effects of genistein in activation water on sperm motility, we used 41 B. splendens from the same supplier and housed these fish in an identical manner.
Diarrhoea occurs when secretory processes exceed the absorptive capacity of the GIT through four identifiable mechanisms: (1) increased secretion from mucosal; (2) decreased absorption (ions and/or solutes and water); (3) altered motility; and (4) increased permeability [ 6].
This result implies that a nanoscopic phase separation occurs maybe because of the newly appeared free volumes of respective sizes, 0.18 nm and 0.33 nm in radius, by decreasing the motility of water molecules, accompanied with an aggregation of the polymer network and a significant expansion of the polymer network mesh size, although the macroscopic volume dramatically decreased.
Besides, previous studies have demonstrated that tannins reduce significantly intraluminal fluid accumulation by the antisecretory activity and promoting reabsorption of water and decrease intestinal motility [ 36– 36].
Probably extract increased the reabsorption of water thereby decreasing intestinal motility as observed by the decrease in intestinal transit of charcoal meal.
Commonly used oral antibiotics eliminate almost all of the normal gut microbiota, which play an important role in the breakdown of plant polysaccharides, promoting gastrointestinal motility, maintaining water balance, producing some vitamins, and competing against pathogenic bacteria.
