The experimental protocol to evaluate duodenal contractility and fecal magnetic pellets output using the ACB technique in mice was successfully established. BALB/c strains had higher duodenal frequencies and a shorter time to eliminate the ingested marker. Our results showed differences in both motor function and gastrointestinal morphology between BALB/c and C57BL/6 strains.
