Abstract | ||||
Adult male Wistar rats were given daily oral doses of the lyophilized aqueous extract of Calligonum comosum at the rate of 400 mg/kg (b.wt.) for 4 weeks. The biochemical changes included a significant increase in the levels of serum Calcium and SUN (P < 0.05). On the other hand, decreased values were noted in the levels of serum albumin (P < 0.01). Haematological changes showed increased lymphocyte count (P < 0.05), whereas, decreases were noted in the levels of Hb (P < 0.01) and total WBCS count (P < 0.05), in addition to panleucocylopenia (P < 0.05) involving all the granulocytes and the monocytes ( P < 0.001). | ||||
