Biochemical, hematological, and hormonal profile of rats orally administered methanol stem bark extract of Napoleona vogelii Hook and Planch (Lecythidaceae)

Abstract: Napoleona vogelii is used in traditional medicine for the management of stomach aches, ulcer, and cancers. This study was conducted to investigate the subchronic toxicological effect of methanol stem bark extract of N. vogelii on biochemical, hematological, and hormonal profile of male and female rats. Forty rats of both sexes were randomly divided into four groups of 10 rats each and were administered 100, 200, and 400 mg/kg of the extract p.o. for 90 d. Ten milliliter per kilogram of distilled water p.o. was… Show more

“…From a previous study [39], the methanol stem bark extract of N. vogelii was found to contain flavonoids, phenols, saponins, tannins, phlobatanin and cardiac glycoside. Quantitatively, the extract consists of 87.88 ± 0.32 mg flavonoid gallic acid equivalent (GAE)/100 g extract, 24.88 ± 0.47 mg phenol GAE/100 g extract, 35.55 ± 0.19 mg saponin GAE/100 g extract and 13.01 ± 0.84 mg tannin GAE/100 g extract.…”
