Euphorbia hirta leaf extracts increase urine output and electrolytes in rats.
TL;DR: It is suggested that the active component(s) in the water extract of E. hirta leaf had similar diuretic spectrum to that of acetazolamide, which validate the traditional use of the plant as a diUREtic agent by the Swahilis and Sukumas.

TL;DR: The method provides means for the rapid test of parallelism of two curves and easy computation of relative potency with its confidence limits and its accuracy is commensurate with the nature of dose-per cent effect data.

Preliminary report of a simple animal behavior model for the anxiolytic effects of benzodiazepines
TL;DR: The increased exploratory activity with benzodiazepines does not appear to be a non-specific increase in general motor activity, as locomotion in clonazepam and chlordiazepoxide treated mice placed in a bare, undifferentiated cage was not significantly different from vehicle treated mice.
