Minerals And Vitamins Content Of Vernonia Amygdalina Stem Extract And Effect Of The Extract On Some Kidney Function Parameters Of Normal And Monosodium Glutamate-Intoxicated Rats
ABSTRACT
Despite the clamour for and availability of modern medicine
in many countries, phyto-medicine or herbal medicine has become popular and
almost indispensable all over the world as a result of easy accessibility, low
cost and ancestral experience. Ethno-botanical studies have been advocated as
the most viable method of identifying new medicinal plants due to their high
bioactive constituents.(Anibijuwon et al., 2012) Vernonia aniygdaiina is a
shrub commonly known as bitterleaf. It is widely used as a daily green
vegetable or herb to treat malaria and diabetes (Erasto et al., 2009). The
potential of vernonia amygdalina was first noted when scientists observed
chimpanzees ate it and were deparasitized (lzevbigue et al., 2004). Since that
discovery subsequent researchers had unveiled more and more bioactivities
possessed by different extracts of this plant such as antioxidant, liver
protection and cytotoxic effects which are beneficial to health.
