 en ANTI-INFLAMMATORY EFFECT OF SOME COMMON NIGERIAN VEGETABLES
F.S. OLUWOLE, A.O. FALODE AND O. O. OGUNDIPE

Abstract

Methanol extracts of four common Nigerian vegetables; A.graveoleus, C.argentia, T. triangulare and T.occidentalis were investigated for anti-inflammatory activity in rats using carrageenan. Carrageenan-induced oedema in the sub-plantar hind paw of vegetable extracts treated rats was significantly inhibited. This finding becomes quite relevant since these vegetables are non-steroidal compounds and from natural source.
