چکیده
The effects of oral administration of Hibiscus sabdariffa aqueous extract on some haematological parameters of wistar albino rats were studied. A total of twenty five (25) male albino rats were grouped randomly into groups. Group A (control), Group B (0.6g/100ml of water of HS extract) Group C (1.2g/100ml HS extract), Group D (1.8g/100ml HS extract) and Group E (1.8g/100ml + vitamin C) and treatment period was 28 days. A decrease in body weight of the rats was observed except in Group A (control) and Group E. Haematological parameters; (Haemoglobin (Hb), packed cell volume (PCV), total white blood cells (WBC) and differentials) increased significantly (p<0.05) in all the groups when compared with Group A (control) in a dose dependent manner. The study suggests that administration of aqueous extract of Hibiscus sabdariffa might be beneficial to the haematopoietic system.

The antioxidant activity of ethanolic seed extract of Hibiscus sabdariffa l. was investigated in toxicity induced by chronic administration of sodium nitrate in wistar rats. Twenty-five adult wistar rats were randomly grouped into 5 groups of five rats in each group (n=5). Group I (normal saline); Group II (25mg/kg NaNO3); Group III (25mg/kg NaNO3 + 10mg/kg vitamin C); Group IV (25mg/kg NaNO3 +...

Roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa) calyx was fermented traditionally and by controlled method with pure strains of Aspergillus flavus and Saccharomyces cerevisiae isolated from the fermentation. The proximate composition revealed that the sample fermented traditionally had the highest protein content of 14.7±2.5%. There was a significant decrease (Pd≤0.05) in the antinutrient content (phytate and ta...
