WECj25, WECj50, and WECj100: C. jagus water/ethanol extract of 25, 50, and 100 mg/kg; Cipro: ciprofloxacin 2.5 mg/kg; NC: normal control; DC: diarrheic control; Na⁺: sodium ions; K⁺: potassium ions; Ca⁺⁺: calcium ions; Cl^-: chloride ions (n=5). Significant difference: p<0.01 compared to normal control (NC); p<0.01 compared to diarrheic control (DC).
