Effect of Q3G-RF from S. mombin leaves on gastrointestinal motility using charcoal. Length of small intestine (A), distance covered by charcoal meal (B), peristaltic index (C), and inhibition of peristalsis (D) of male Wistar rats treated with normal saline, castor oil (1 mL) + normal saline (1 mL) + charcoal meal (1 mL), castor oil (1 mL) + atropine sulphate (5 mg/kg body weight) + charcoal meal (1 mL), castor oil (1 mL) + Q3G-RF (100 mg/kg body weight) + charcoal meal (1 mL), castor oil (1 mL) + Q3G-RF (200 mg/kg body weight) + charcoal meal (1 mL), and castor oil (1 mL) + Q3G-RF (400 mg/kg body weight) + charcoal meal (1 mL). 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
