Haematinic activity of Amla Fruit in Phenylhydrazine Induced Anaemic Rats
Main Article Content
Abstract
This current research was done to bring out the anti-anemic activity in hydro-alcoholic extract of fruit of Emblica officinalis in phenylhydrazine induced anemic rats. The anemia was induced by the administration of Phenylhydrazine (60mg/kg) intraperitoneally in rats for two days. The animals were divided into 4 groups containing 6 animals each. 1st group was served as normal control group, 2nd group was served as anemic control, 3rd group was served as test control-I administered with 100mg/kg of hydro-alcoholic extract of fruit of Emblica officinalis and 4th group was served as test control-II administered with 200mg/kg of hydro-alcoholic extract of fruit of Emblica officinalis. All the test drugs were given for 28 days daily through oral route. On 29th day blood was withdrawn, through tail puncture and subjected to the estimation of RBC, Hb and percentage Haematocrit. Both the hydro-alcoholic fruit extract of Emblica officinalis and, Red Blood Cells & percentage Haematocrit level which conclude that Emblica officinalis fruit exhibits the anti-anemic activity.
