DIURETIC, ANTIDIURETIC AND LAXATIVE ACTIVITIES OF ANTHOCLEISTA VOGELII EXTRACTS IN RATS

Hypoglycemic Activity of the Extract and Fractions of Anthocleista vogelii (Planch) Stem Bark

Purpose: To investigate the hypoglycemic effect of the methanol extract and fractions of Anthocleista vogelii stem bark. Methods: The methanol extract of A. vogelii stem bark (ME) was subjected to gradient chromatographic separation using four solvents chloroform, ethyl acetate, acetone and water to afford the respective fractions CF, EF, AF and WF. ME was administered orally to normoglycemic r...

Antiplasmodial Effect of Anthocleista vogelii on Albino Mice Experimentally Infected with Plasmodium berghei berghei (NK 65)

The objective of the present study was to investigate the antiplasmodial effect of the ethanolic stem bark extract of Anthocleista vogelii at different doses in albino mice infected with Plasmodium berghei berghei (NK 65). Thirty-six mice were divided into six groups of six mice each. Five groups (B1-B3, D, and G) were infected with Plasmodium berghei berghei parasitized red blood cells. Groups...

Medullary collecting-duct function in antidiuretic and in salt- or water-diuretic rats.

SONNENBERG, H. Medullary collecting-duct function in antidiuretic and in saltor water-diuretic rats. Am. J. Physiol. 226(3): 501-506. 1974.-Microcatheterization of the medullary collecting duct of adult rats was used to study the contribution of water, sodium, and potassium transport in this nephron segment to urinary excretion. In antidiuresis medullary reabsorption of fluid and sodium was 50/...
