Anti-Inflammatory Effect Of Some Common Nigerian Vegetables
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.
