Notes: Each value represents mean ± S.E.M; n=6; Analysis was performed by one way ANOVA; ^acompared to negative control; ^*p<0.05; ^**p<0.01; number followed by FURO, FSAE and FSME indicates dose/kg.

Abbreviations: DW, distilled water; NC, negative control; FURO, furosemide; FSAE, F. sur aqueous extract; FSME, F. sur methanol extract.
