Anti-Anemic Activity of Hydro-Alcoholic Extract of Fruit of Allium tricoccum in Phenylhydrazine Induced Anemic Rats

Abstract

The aim of the current research was to bring out the anti-anemic activity in hydro- alcoholic extract of leaves of Lycium barbarumin phenylhydrazine induced anemic rats. The anemia was induced by the administration of phenylhydrazine (40mg/kg) intraperitoneally in rats for two days.The animal were divided into 5 groups containing 6 animal each. 1st group was served as normal control group, 2nd group was served as anemic control, 3rd group was served as standard reference control administered with Vit. B12 complex, 4th group was served as test control-I administered with 100mg/kg of hydro-alcoholic extract of leaves of Lycium barbarum and 5th group was served as test control-II administered with 200mg/kg of hydro-alcoholic extract of leaves of Lycium barbarum. All the test drugs were given for 28 days daily through oral route. On 29th day blood was withdrawn, through tail puncture and subjected to the estimation of RBC, Hb and percentage Haematocrit. Both the hydro-alcoholic leaves extract of Lycium barbarum and Vit. B12 significantly increase the Haemoglobin, Red Blood Cells & percentage Haematocrit level which conclude that Lycium barbarum leaves exhibits’ the anti-anemic activity. Key
