Abstract:
The study was carried out on rabbits at the daily dose of 6 g and 12 g/kg body weight. After 30 days, the activity of the rats in the experimental groups (receiving plant extract) and the control group (receiving distilled water) remained in the normal state. The measurements, such as the amount of red blood cells, platelets, white blood cells, the leucogram, hematochrome, hematocrit, mean corpuscular volume, showed no difference in the two experimental groups of rats (15 and 30 day-regimens) compared with the control group, and with before the administration of the extract. Therefore, the fruit extract of Morinda citrifolia had no effects on the health state and the hematogenic system of the experimental rabbits.
