ABSTRACT
Roots
of Sphenocentrum joUyamtm are used as Anti-diabetic, anti-hyperglycemic and
treatment constipation. The present study was aimed at evaluating the effects
of ethanolic root extract of S.jollyanum on some electrolytes
(Na’,K’,Cl-,11CO3) in diabetic Wistar Albino Rat. Twenty(20) rats were used to
carry out this experiment and was grouped into five of four groups; Group 1
:Normal control(no diabetes and fed with feed and water),Group 2: Low
dose(diabetic and treated with 200mg/kg),Group 3Positive control(diabetic and
treated with glibenclamide), Group 4.’High dose(diabetic and treated with
400mg/kg), Group 5:Negative control(diabetic and not treated).Results: When 200mg/kg
and 400mg/kg of the extract was compared with Group 5,there was a
significant(p<0.05) decrease in DayO and a not significant(p>0.05) dose
dependent decrease in wcek2 and 3.Also there was a significant (p<0.05)
decrease in the serum electrolytes(Na4, K',C1-, HCO3') from the bar chart.
Conclusion: The plant extract was toxic because it contains inhibitory
compounds that decreases the absorption of these electrolytes(NaL KLC1‘, HCO3)
and it also contains antioxidants, antihyperglycemic properties.
