Exploring the Culinary and Medicinal Significance of Gnetum Africanum

This investigation looked at the iron and vitamin E levels in wistar rats given extracts of Gnetum Africanum. In four groups of six rats each, twenty-four mature male rats weighing between 100g and 120g were divided. The healthy Control group was Group A. For 28 days, the extract of Gnetum Africanum was given to Groups B, C, and D at dose concentrations of 40 mg/kg, 80 mg/kg, and 120 mg/kg body weight, respectively. The findings demonstrated that, when compared to the control group, Gnetum Africanum supplementation significantly increased serum iron and vitamin E levels (P< 0.05). These adjustments to the blood levels of vitamin E and iron were dose-dependent. This finding suggests that Gnetum Africanum extract might be helpful in the treatment of anemia and reproductive problems.
