Evaluation The Effect Of Extract Of Phoenix Dactylifera Palm Leaves On Some Blood Serum Electrolytes In Alloxan Treated Female Rats

This study was conducted to evolution the effect of ethanolic extract of Palm Leaves (Phoenix Dactylifera) on blood serum electrolytes in alloxan treated female rats. Eighteen albino adult female rats of wistar strain average body weigh between 150g to 200g were randomly divided into three experimental groups (n = 6). Group I (serves as control group), Group II ( injected intraperitonealy (i.p.)with single dose alloxan 100 mg kg/B.W), Group III (injected intraperitonealy (i.p.)with single dose alloxan 100 mg kg/B.W and daily orally gavages with 200mg/kg B.W. palm leaves extract). Serum sodium, potassium, magnesium, chloride and phosphor were estimated. Alloxan injection induced decrease in serum sodium concentration and increase in serum potassium, magnesium, chloride and phosphor concentration . Oral administration of palm leaves extract resulted in a significant elevation (p < 0.05) in serum sodium concentration near the normal value and significant decrease (p < 0.05) in serum potassium and chloride concentrations, while non significant reduces in serum magnesium and phosphor concentrations. palm leaves extract may be useful in improving the clinical benefits for serum electrolyte changes in diabetes.
