Effect of Repeated Dose Administration of Ethanolic Extract of Bosweillia dalzielii Stem Bark on Haematological Parameters of Normoglycaemic and Alloxan Induced Hyperglycaemic Albino Rats
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Boswelia dalzielii (family Burseraceae) is the West African species of the frankincense producing genres. Its ethnomedicinal applications include the treatment of emesis, heart diseases, leprosy and diabetes mellitus. Ethanolic extract of the plant was investigated for their anti-hyperglycaemic properties and their effect on haematological parameters of normglycemic and alloxan-induced hyperglycaemic albino rats. The study showed a statistically significant P<0.05) reduction of blood glucose concentration in the diabetic experimental animals proceeding from day 2 through day 7 of extract administration and in the normoglycemic (non-diabetic) rats starting from day 5 through day 7. Assessment of the ethanolic extract of the plant on haematological parameters showed significant (p<0.05) reduction in circulating RBC, Hb, MCH and MCHC but an increase in MCV of the hyperglycaemic rats. Total white blood cell (WBC) count and monocyte (MONO) decreased significantly (p<0.05) while lymphocyte increased significantly |p<0.05) astreatment progressed. The result of the present study suggests that ethanolic extract of B . dalzielii possess antihyperglycaemic properties. However, while the plant may be useful for the treatment of diabetes mellitus, it has been shown to educe the number of circulating red blood cells, haemoglobin and white blood cells in diabetic animals.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
