| Zusammenfassung: | Chrysophyllum albidum is a common plant in the tropical Central, East
and West Africa region.Its fruits are widely consumed and plant parts
are vastly utilized. The broad utilization and consumption of this
plant parts make it pertinent to examine its effect on blood
parameters. This study was therefore designed to investigate the effect
of methanolic extract of Chrysophyllum albidum on haematological
indices in mice. Seventy five Swiss albino male mice (19g - 22g)
were used for this study. 45 of which were anaesthetized with diethyl
ether and 0.25mls (40%) of their blood drained through the
retro-orbital plexus. Haemoglobin concentration (Hb) was determined
24hours after. Animals with Hb of |
