CHEMICAL COMPOSITION AND EFFECTS OF DRIED IRVINGIA GABONENSIS (OGBONO) SEEDS AND FRESH GARDEN EGG LEAVES ON SELECTED BIOCHEMICAL INDICES OF DIABETIC ADULT MALE WISTAR RATS.
ABSTRACT The study examined the chemical composition and the effects of Solanum aethiopicum leaves (garden egg) and Irvingia gabonensis seed (ogbono) on selected biochemical indices of alloxan induced adult wistar rats. Fresh Solanum aethiopicum leaves were plucked, sorted, washed with clean water and allowed to drain. The pulverized leaves were packaged in a plastic container and preserved in the refrigerator. Dried Irvingia gabonensis seeds were sorted washed and shade dried. ...
