Data are expressed as mean ± SEM; (n = 6, CON = control, CM, crude hydromethanolic extract, CF = chloroform fraction of Gardenia ternifolia, and CQ = chloroquine). a, compared to negative control; b, compared to 100 mg/kg; c, compared to 200 mg/kg; d, compared to 400 mg/kg; e, CQ10 mg/kg: 3P < 0.001.
