Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the antioxidative and protective role of aqueous extract of Phyllanthus emblica fruit (AEPEF) on intestinal mucosa against castor oil-induced diarrhea. Rats were randomly divided into five groups (N = 6). After acclimatization of 7 days, group I (control) and group II (loperamide) were given distilled water @ 20 ml/kg body weight (BW) orally whereas rats of group III, group IV, and group V received AEPEF @ 200 mg, 400 mg, and 600 mg/kg BW respectively, daily for 14 days. On the 15th day, diarrhea was induced with 1 ml castor oil to each rat orally. Onset time of diarrhea and percentage inhibition of defecation revealed significantly (p |
