How does the leaves of hog plums affect hematology in mice?
The leaves of hog plums, specifically Solanum incanum (Linn), have been found to have significant effects on hematological parameters in mice . Administration of methanolic seed extracts of S. incanum at concentrations of 50 mg/kg and 100 mg/kg orally once every two days for fourteen days resulted in significant increases in erythrocytes, hemoglobin, and hematocrit counts . Additionally, the extract caused significant increases in levels of total white blood cells, neutrophils, and basophil counts . Platelet profiles also showed significant increases after seven days of treatment with the extract . Phytochemical screening results indicated that the seed extract of S. incanum had phytochemicals associated with erythropoietin promoting activity, immunostimulatory activities, and thrombopoietin stimulation . Therefore, the leaves of hog plums have a positive impact on hematological parameters in mice, potentially enhancing their overall health and resistance to infection.
