Values are presented as mean ± SEM for 5-6 rats. Data for the total number of feces and total number of diarrheal feces by H. odorata extracts, positive antidiarrheal control (Loperamide, 5 mg/kg p.o.) and normal control (saline) were processed by paired t-test analysis using Statistical package for social Science (SPSS for windows, version 21.0, IBM Corporation, New York, USA) followed by Dunnet test. a, b, c & d superscript letters in the table are statistically significant to each other. Values with P < 0.05 are considered as statistically significant
