Effect of administration of aqueous extracts of <em>Securidaca longepedunculata</em> stem barks on enzymes of the small intestine alloxan-induced diabetic rats
Abstract:The stem barks of Securidaca longepedunculata are used traditionally across Africa for the treatment of diabetes, cancer, metabolic diseases and asthma. This study was aimed at investigating the potential enzyme activities of the S. longepedunculata on the small intestine. Aqueous extracts of S. longepedunculata were tested in vivo on animal models: A total of 12 Wister rats were assigned into four (I-IV) groups of three animals each. Group I served as the control and was administered 0.5mL of distilled water.… Show more
