Erythropoietin and thrombopoietin mimetics: Natural alternatives to erythrocyte and platelet disorders

“…Though Fe is a known erythropoietic agent, antioxidant properties of the plant may have a role in reducing the rate of haemolysis induced by oxidants. Testosterone, another known stimulant of erythropoiesis, was found to be increased in humans with Garcinia cambogia (Akpantah et al, 2003;Barcelo et al, 1999;Snyder et al, 2000), effecting erythropoesis indirectly. The exact compounds effecting the different routes of erythropoiesis are be identified and the results do indicate the therapeutic potential of Garcinia cambogia (Oluyemi et al, 2007).…”
