Effect of Methanolic Extract of Adenopus Breviflorous on Selected Tissues in Abino Rats

The present study was carried out to evaluate the hepatoprotective effects of methanolic extract of Adenopus breviflorus fruit in Wistar albino rats. Experimental rats were randomly divided into four groups of six rats each. Group1 Served as normal control group received 10ml/kg normal Distilled water administered orally. Group2 Served an aqueous extract of Adenopus breviflorus 62.5mg/kg administered orally. Group3 served another dosage of the extract Adenopus breviflorus 125 mg/kg administered orally. Group4 served an extract of Adenopus breviflorus also received 250 mg/kg administered orally. At the end of 2 weeks of the experiment, the results were expressed in mean values. ALP, AST and Liver indices levels were discussed in some selected tissues. (ALP, activity in liver showed that there is a significant decreased in Group B, C and D in the liver compared to that of control at P 0.05. When compared with those of the control, significant (p 0.05) in the total protein level of rats administered with extract when compared with those of the control group. However significant (p<0.05) increased was observed in the total bilirubin and conjugated bilirubin levels of rats administered with extract when compared with those of the control.
