Effect of the methanolic leaf extract of J. schimperiana on castor oil-induced enteropooling in mice; (a) effect on the weight of intestinal content; (b) % reduction in the weight of intestinal content; (c) effect on the volume of intestinal content; (d) % reduction in the volume of intestinal content. Values expressed as mean ± SEM (n = 6); ^∗p < 0.05; ^∗∗p < 0.01; ^∗∗∗p < 0.001 compared with the negative control; ^#% reduction is relative to the negative control group. Group 1: mice that received distilled water (negative control); Group 2: mice treated with 3 mg/kg of loperamide (positive control); Group 3: mice treated with 100 mg/kg of the extract; Group 4: mice treated with 200 mg/kg of the extract; Group 5: mice treated with 400 mg/kg of the extract.
