| Abstract: | The effect of administration of aqueous extract of Parquetina nigrescens on haematological parameters was investigated in haemorThagic anaemic rats from which about 30% of blood volume was removed through ocular vein under chloroform anesthesia. Anaemic rats were administered 400mg/kg, 800mg/ kg and 1600mg/kg of P. nigrescens aqueous extract daily for four weeks. Significant (P < 0.05) progressive and dose related increases were observed in red blood cell count (RBC, 106 / ml), Haemoglobin (gm/dl), Haematocrit (Hct, %) and Reticulocyte (%) while a decrease in white blood cell count (WBC 103 nl) was observed in test rats treated with aqueous extract of P. nigrescens when compared with both normal and bled control rats. |
