Figure 4

Analysis of antisecretory effect of infusion, ethanolic and aqueous extracts of E. dysenterica utilizing alterations in serum magnesium levels at different periods: no treatments (T0), after one dose (T1), seven-day dose (T2) as parameters, and 14-day dose (T3). Negative control group received 1 mL of water and ricin oil (10 mg·kg^-1). Positive control group received loperamide (2 mg·kg^-1), and experimental groups received infusion and aqueous extract at the dose of 800 mg·kg^-1 and ethanolic extract at the dose of 400 mg·kg^-1. Vertical bars represent standard error. Asterisks indicate statistical difference from control (P  ≤  .05) by Dunnett test.
