Comparison of Extracts of Cyphostemma Glaucophilla on Total Protein and Membrane Stabilisation
ABSTRACT
The chloroform, ethanol and water extracts of pulve rised dried leaves
of Cyphostemma glaucophilla were used in this study. Three sets of inbred
Wistar albino rats of either sex aged 7-9months and weighing 100-150g were fed
on Top feed rat diet and allowed freeaccess to water before and during the
experiment. For each extract, five groups A, B, C, D and E of five animals each
were respectively served daily doses of saline [0.85% Nacl,5ml/kg],0.5,1.0,1.5
and 2.0mg/kg respectively extract for 14days using stomach tubes. Twenty four
