The effect of aqueous extract of Acacia albida stem bark was investigated in Wistar albino rats infected with Trypanosoma evansi. The extract showed highest reduction in parasitemia at the dose of 600 mg/kg body weight (bw). A dose of 300 mg/kg bw improved packed cell volume the most by 14.35%. The group treated with 150 and 600 mg/kg bw of the extract showed significant decrease (P < 0.05) in alanine transaminase and aspartate transaminase levels which were lower than those of the group treated with diminazene aceturate. The group treated with 150 mg/kg bw of the extract showed the least urea, albumin and protein level and lowest relative organ weight. There was a significant difference (P < 0.05) in the levels of catalase and Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances in liver and kidney of the animals in the infected-untreated group and the extracts-treated groups. The results of this study show that the extracts of A. albida have antitrypanosomal activity against T. evansi infection.
在感染伊氏锥虫的Wistar白化大鼠中研究了阿拉伯胶树茎皮水提取物的作用。该提取物在600毫克/千克体重剂量时对寄生虫血症的降低效果最为显著。300毫克/千克体重的剂量使红细胞压积改善最多,提高了14.35%。用150和600毫克/千克体重提取物处理的组,丙氨酸转氨酶和天冬氨酸转氨酶水平显著降低(P<0.05),低于用乙酰氨基苯磺酰嘧啶处理的组。用150毫克/千克体重提取物处理的组尿素、白蛋白和蛋白质水平最低,相对器官重量也最低。感染未处理组和提取物处理组动物肝脏和肾脏中的过氧化氢酶和硫代巴比妥酸反应性物质水平存在显著差异(P<0.05)。本研究结果表明,阿拉伯胶树提取物对伊氏锥虫感染具有抗锥虫活性。
