Protocolo
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].
