Hepatoprotective effect of an aqueous extract of the leaves of Acalypha wilkesiana 'Godseffiana' Muell Arg (Euphorbiaceae) against carbon tetrachloride induced liver injury in rats
The potential of aqueous extract of the leaves of Acalypha wilkesiana, to protect against carbon tetrachloride induced liver damage was investigated in Wistar albino rats. The carbon tetrachloride was prepared 1:5 (v:v) in olive oil, and administered subcutaneously at 1 mL/kg body weight. The extract was administered to both normal and carbon tetrachloride treated rats at 100, 200 and 300 mg/kg...
متن کاملQuantitative High Performance Liquid Chromatographic Analysis of Simple Terpenes, Carotenoids, Phytosterols and Flavonoids in the Leaves of Acalypha wilkesiana Muell Arg
The simple terpenes, carotenoids, phytosterols, and flavonoids compositions of the leaves of Acalypha wilkesiana were determined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The leaves were rich in flavonoids (about 251.3mg/kg dry weight), carotenoids (76.3mg/kg dry weight), and phytosterols (16.6mg/kg dry weight), but very low in simple terpenes (0.0084mg/kg dry weight). Three flavonoids ...

Background: This study was conducted to evaluate the therapeutic benefits of oral administration of extracts of Acalypha wilkesiana leaves on some serum parameters that are indicators or risk factors of cardiovascular diseases, in salt loaded rabbits. Method: Thirty experimental rabbits used for this study were randomized into five groups (A to E) of six rabbits. Rabbits in groups A to D were g...
متن کاملAcalypha Wilkesiana ‘Inferno’ Is Nephroprotective Against Gentamicin and Cisplatin: Biochemical, Histological and Immunochemical Evidence
Background: Kidneys exposure to toxins can cause injuries, leading to their functional impairments. Traditionally, plants have been used for the treatment of renal disorders and numerous medicinal plants have been tested for their nephroprotective effects, in such cases as gentamicin (GM) and cisplatin (Cisp)-induced nephrotoxicity. This study assessed the ability of Acalypha wilkesiana’s extra...
