Proteomic Analysis and In Vivo Studies Reveal the Potential Gastroprotective Effects of CHCl3 and Aqueous Extracts of Ficus palmata
Table 1
Effect of Ficus palmata extracts: chloroform (Fp.CHCl3), aqueous (Fp.Aq), and loperamide by using castor oil induced diarrhea in mice.
| Treatment (mg/kg) | No. of mice (out of 5) with diarrhea | Protection (%) |
| Saline (10 mL/kg) + castor oil (10 mL/kg) | 5/5 | 0 | Fp.CHCl3 (50 mg/kg) + castor oil | 2/5 | 60 | Fp.CHCl3 (100 mg/kg) + castor oil | 1/5 | 80 | Fp.CHCl3 (300 mg/kg) + castor oil | 0/5 | 100 | Fp.Aq (50 mg/kg) + castor oil | 3/5 | 40 | Fp.Aq (100 mg/kg) + castor oil | 2/5 | 60 | Fp.Aq (300 mg/kg) + castor oil | 1/5 | 80 | Loperamide (10 mg/kg) + castor oil | 0/5 | 100 |
