a-d Decreased gastric emptying (Fig. a-b (GE), % of total dose of Evans blue) after thylakoid supplementation, both in the acute study where thylakoids in HFD was given as a bolus dose (a, control n = 6, thylakoid n = 8) and after two weeks intake of thylakoids in HFD (b, control n = 7, thylakoid n = 7). Decreased small intestinal motility, measured as the distance of Evans blue migration (Fig. c-d (Mi), % of total length), both in the acute study where thylakoids in HFD was given as a bolus dose (c, control n = 6, thylakoid n = 8) and after two weeks intake of thylakoids in HFD (d, control n = 7, thylakoid n = 7). Bars represent mean + SEM. Statistical P-levels of ≤0.05 was considered to be significant (* = P < 0.05)
