Eff ect of the aqueous leaf extract of Anchomanes diff ormis on the glucose level and organ/body weight ratio of Wistar rats

Anchomanes difformis (Araceae) is a plant with many reported therapeutic properties. This study is aimed attesting the blood sugar level and organ-to-body weight ratio effect of the aqueous leaf extracts of A. difformis,as measures of toxicity of the plant in a short term. Blood sugar test was done using a handy glucometerwhile organ-to-body weight ratio analysis was carried out following standard methods. Results got show thatA. difformis had no effect on the blood glucose level and organ-to-body weight ratio on rats. A robust toxicityanalysis of A. difformis aqueous leaf extract to further find out more proofs that the plant is safe for humansubjects is recommended
