Effects of Q3G-RF from S. mombin leaves on electrolytes in S. flexneri-induced diarrhoeal rats after 14 days of treatment. Sodium ion concentration (A), potassium ion concentration (B), chloride ion concentration (C) in the intestinal fluid of male Wistar rats treated with normal saline, inoculum (2 mL) + normal saline (1 mL), inoculum (2 mL) + ciprofloxacin (2.5 mg/kg body weight), inoculum (2 mL) + Q3G-RF (100 mg/kg body weight), inoculum (2 mL) + Q3G-RF (200 mg/kg body weight), and inoculum (2 mL) + Q3G-RF (400 mg/kg body weight). Values are expressed as mean ± standard error of mean (n = 6). Significant differences from the sham control group are indicated by † and from negative control by #, p < 0.05
