Figure 1 Percentage weight gain of the rats. The rat pups were weighed 1-2 times daily after day 2 during the experiment. On days 5 and 6, rotavirus (RV) was inoculated orally to the rats. Weight gain is expressed as percentual weight gain from the beginning of the experiment. aP < 0.05 vs RV control group; cP < 0.05 vs dead GG group.
