Fig. 5From: Quercetin-3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside-rich fraction demonstrated efficacy against infectious, secretory, and osmotic models of diarrhoeal ratsEffects of Q3G-RF from S. mombin leaves in magnesium sulphate-induced diarrhoeal rats after 6 h of treatment. Na+–K+ ATPase activity (A), nitric oxide level (B), total protein level (C), glucose level (D), sodium ion concentration (E), potassium ion concentration (F), chloride ion concentration (G) in the intestinal tissue/fluid of male Wistar rats treated with normal saline, magnesium sulphate (1 mL) + normal saline (1 mL), magnesium sulphate (1 mL) + loperamide (3 mg/kg body weight), magnesium sulphate (1 mL) + Q3G-RF (100 mg/kg body weight), magnesium sulphate (1 mL) + Q3G-RF (200 mg/kg body weight), and magnesium sulphate (1 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 < 0.05Back to article page
