Effect Of Mthanolic Extracts Of African Mistletoe (Loranthus Micranthus) On Cadmium Induced Toxicity In The Kidney Of Male Wistar Rats
ABSTRACT
In this study, the ameliorative potential of
Loranthus micranthus was investigated in cadmium induced toxicity on kidney
function parameters in Wistar rats. Animals of 140-2 lOg weight were grouped
into four groups of four animals per group. In group 1 (control), animals had
access to feed and water, group 2, received 50mg/kg body weight (B.W) of
Cadmium was, in group 3 (extract) animals 1 50mg/kg BW of the leaves extracts
of Loranthus micranthus, while the last group concomitantly received 50mg/kg
B.W of Cadmium and 150mg/kg BW of Loranthus inicranihu.s' leaves extracts. At
the end of the study, values for the various electrolytes showed that Loranthus
micranthus had ameliorative properties on the kidney electrolytes by markedly
(p>O.OS) reducing the serum sodium ion concentration in the group 4 (extract
and Cadmium) compared to the intoxicated group (group 2) and the control. The
same trend was observe in Mg, where the control had value 7.75±1.45, 6.60±0.4 1
for the Cadmium (group 2) and (4.97±0.50) for the treated group (4). Calcium
followed the same trend which showed a relatively balanced serum Ca
(13.42±1.37) compared to 16.65±1.59 of the intoxicated group. These results
give credence to the use of Loranthus micranthus in treatment of various
different in traditional medicine.
