Talinium triangulare have been proven to offer promising antiulcer properties which could validate its"folkoric use for the treatment of gastric ulcer in various part of Nigeria. This study investigates the role of methanolic extract of Talinium triangulare (METT) in gastric ulcer healing and the possible mechanisms involved. Twenty-eight male wistar rats (160-180gm, n=7) were grouped into; A-control, B-ulcerated untreated, C-ulcerated treated with Omeprazole (20 mg/kg b.w.) and D-ulcerated treated with METT (100 mg/kg b.w.). Gastric ulcer was induced by injecting 0.2 MLs of 40% acetic acid into the glandular part of the stomach for 45 seconds after which it was withdrawn, and the stomach surface cleaned with normal saline. Stomach samples were collected by day 14 post ulceration and assessed for ulcer score; a section of it was fixed for histological evaluation and immunohistochemical (Avidin-Biotin Immunoperoxidase method) analysis. Stomach tissue homogenates were used for enzymatic activities. Results were subjected to statistical analysis using analysis of variance method. There was a significant reduction in the ulcer area of the METT treated group compared with other ulcerated treated and untreated groups. Malondialdehyde concentration of the gastric tissue homogenate was significantly lower in METT treated group compared to other groups. The METT treated group significantly increased the level of superoxide dismutase and catalase compared to other test groups. Histological study showed that only METT treated rats produces predominantly normal mucosa, METT treated rats also expressed CD31 (a marker of angiogenesis) and EGFR (a marker of proliferation) more than the other rats, while the expressions of Ki67 (proliferation) and p53 (Apoptosis) by METT group were not different from other groups. Methanolic extracts of Talinum triangulare accelerated the healing of gastric ulcers in rats probably through reduced oxidative stress, increased cell proliferation, and angiogenesis.

“…Hence, there is the need to document and research into various medicinal plants used in treating diseases in different parts of Nigeria. Ethnobotanical surveys of other diseases in the Southwestern part of Nigeria similar to the one presented in this work have been carried out by some researchers (Erinoso and Aworinde, 2012;Sonibare et al, 2009;Soladoye et al, 2010). The Yoruba traditional system of medicine also offers a number of safe treatments for CNS related disorders.…”

An ethnobotanical survey of plants used in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases was carried out in three local government areas (LGA) of Ibadan, Oyo State, South Western Nigeria. Twenty-eight respondents, which comprised traditional medicine practitioners (TMPs), herbalists, herb sellers and the elderly were interviewed using semi-structured questionnaires. Focused group discussion was used to interview the TMPs during one of their associations meetings. Several free interviews were also conducted. Some herb sellers (all women) were interviewed in some of the herbs markets visited. Information was obtained on names of plants constituting the recipes, plant parts used, source of plants, methods of preparation of herbs and mode of administration. Twenty two plant species belonging to 19 Angiosperm families were found to be useful for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. The most prominent among these plant families are Fabaceae, Musaceae and Piperaceae with two species each. The leaves constitute the most frequently used parts. Other parts such as root, fruit and stem bark are occasionally used. The modes of preparations are infusion, decoction and concoction which are administered orally, mostly three times daily. Most of the herbs are sourced from the wild; only a negligible number of practitioners have home gardens where plants are grown. It is therefore imperative to encourage the cultivation and proper documentation of some of the plants which may become endangered over long use. All the plants identified in this work have been used regularly by the herbalists and adjudged to be efficacious.

“…Although local names are not recommended directly for scientific accounts of plants as they lack uniformity and consistency (Singh, 2008), yet they may certainly be considered as a useful tool for obtaining useful information on plants especially if the information will be derived from local people. Local names provide means of reference by local people in a particular area (Erinoso and Aworinde, 2012). Information gathered showed that increasing number of people are turning to herbal remedies for cure of depression as also the practitioners are aware of what depressive illness is.…”

The objective of this study is to conduct an ethnobotanical survey of medicinal plants used in management of depression among Hausa tribes in order to establish an informational data base. An ethnobotanical survey was conducted in December 2015 in Zaria, Kaduna State, Nigeria. Data were collected based on an oral interview with the aid of semi structured questionnaire. Only data from willing respondents were obtained and documented. Plant specimens were collected along the line, they were subsequently dried and mounted. It was then taken for identification and authentication in the Herbarium Section of Biological Sciences, Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria where specimen voucher numbers were deposited. Information on sources, safety, methods of preparation and administrations, identity, local and botanical names of medicinal plants used in the management of depression among Hausa tribe of Kaduna State was obtained. An informational database was established and specimen with voucher numbers was deposited in the herbarium.
