Evaluating the Antimalarial, Analgesic, and Hepatoprotective Effects of Justicia carnea Leaf Extract in Wistar Mice: A Comprehensive Biomedical Assessment
This investigation reveals significant antimalarial effects of justicia carnea in Wistar mice, highlighting its potential use against plasmodium infections.
Key Points
Justicia carnea extract effectively reduced parasitemia in Wistar mice models infected with plasmodium.
The extract significantly improved haematological parameters like PCV and RBC counts compared to the control group.
Hepatoprotective activity is indicated by lower levels of AST, ALT, and ALP in treated mice.
Although Justicia carnea showed strong antimalarial effects, its analgesic properties were not significantly effective.
