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 hours after the last administration, the animals were sacrificed by ether anaesthesia. Blood samples were drawn into heparinised tubes by cardiac puncture and centrifuged at 5000xg for 10minutes.The supernatant was used as plasma.

Abstract  In recent times, focus on plant research has increased all over the world and a large body of evidence has collected to show immense potential of medicinal plants used in various traditional systems. Use of plant based drugs and chemicals for curing various ailments and personal adornment is as old as human civilization. The goal of research work is to estimate primary metabolites such as protein, lipid, starch, phenol,and carbohydrates in different plant parts which are present in different proportion in plant species viz. Clitoria ternatea , Guazuma ulmifolia, Madhuca indica. The highest amount of soluble sugar was observed 129.0 mg/gdw, protein 67.0 mg/gw in leaf of G. ulmifolia, phenol 46.0 mg/gdw in root of M. indica, lipid 42.0 mg/gdw in root
