چکیده
The present investigation was carried out to evaluate the effect of alcoholic fruit extract of Momordica cochinchinensis on serum protein profile of albino rat. Alcoholic fruit extract of Momordica cochinchinensis (200 mg kgbody weight) has been given orally to albino rats for the period of 7,15,30,45 and 60 days respectively. Results showed a significant (p<0.01) increase in serum total protein, albumin and total globulins and non-significant increase in A/G ratio in rats. Increase in serum protein after the administration of alcoholic extract of Momordica cochinchinensis in albino rates was due to increase in number of m-RNA molecule and their attachment to the ribosome’s and thus increase protein anabolism.
