| In Vivo | Castor oil is a natural triglyceride which has a laxative effect and induces labor in pregnant females. When given castor oil, wild-type mice respond with a strong diarrhea, starting about 30 min after application. The laxative effect lasts for about 2 h[1]. |
|---|
| Animal Admin | Mice are used to measure the laxative effects of Castor oil and starved 16 h before the experiments. On the day of the experiment, mice are treated with the Castor oil, and the bottom of the cages is covered with white tissue paper. The weight of shapeless and watery stools is determined hourly[1]. |
