Treatment	Dose, route (p.o)	MWSIC (g)	% of inhibition	MVSIC (mL)	% of inhibition
Group-Ⅰ	1% tween 80-10 mL/kg	0.60 ± 0.02	–	0.48 ± 0.02	–
Group-Ⅱ	Loperamide-3 mg/kg	0.17 ± 0.09***	71.66	0.13 ± 0.01***	72.91
Group-Ⅲ	MECD-50 mg/kg	0.53 ± 0.01*	11.66	0.44 ± 0.02	8.33
Group-Ⅳ	MECD-100 mg/kg	0.38 ± 0.02***	36.67	0.30 ± 0.02**	37.50
Group-Ⅴ	MECD-200 mg/kg	0.27 ± 0.01***	55.00	0.22 ± 0.01***	54.16
Group-Ⅵ	MECD-400 mg/kg	0.17 ± 0.02***	71.66	0.17 ± 0.01***	64.58

The values are expressed as mean ± SEM (n = 6); One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) suggested by Dunnett's test. Significant (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001) compared with the control sample. MECD = methanol extract of C. digyna. MWSIC = mean weight of the small intestinal content, MVSIC = mean volume of the small intestinal content.
