Abstract
Castor oil, Lipopolysaccharide of Escherichia coli, and endotoxin of S almonella typhimurium were used for inducing diarrhoea in sham operate d or caecectomized mice. Copious diarrhoea was induced by lipopolysacc haride (LPS) in caecectomized mice. Characteristics of diarrhoea induc ed by castor oil were not different between the two groups. It is conc luded that caecectomized mice may be a good model to study lipopolysac charide-induced diarrhoea.
