Answer:
Wistar albino rats were randomly divided into five groups of six rats each. Control group, furosemide treated group, and P. harmala treated group. Control group was treated with 2 ml/100 g of body weight methanol vehicle, furosemide treated group was treated with furosemide 10 mg/kg orally (Da Silva et al., 2015, Hailu and Engidawork, 2014). Herbal treated group was subdivided into three subgroups, they were treated with 150, 300 and 450 mg/kg doses of methanolic extracts of P. harmala (MEPH), respectively. All administered drugs were given orally.
Each animal was placed in isolation in metabolic cages, 24 h prior to commencement of the experiment for adaptation and then fasted overnight with free access to water. Urine samples were collected after 5 h and 24 h of the last dose. The urine samples were filtered and finally stored at −20 °C for electrolyte analyses.
