EFFECT OF ETHANOL LEAVE EXTRACT OF GONGRONEMA LATIFOLIUM ON SERUM LIPID PROFILE OF TESTOSTERONE PROPIONATE INDUCED BENIGN PROSTATIC HYPERPLASIA IN MALE WISTAR RATS
Abstract
This study was carried out to determine the combined effect of Gongronema latifolium on serum lipid profile of testosterone propionate-induced benign prostatic hyperplasia in wistar rats. Twenty-eight (28) male wistar rats weighing between 200-300g were used for this experiment and were grouped into four (4) groups of seven (7) animals each. Group I animals served as normal control and received the vehicle (0.4ml of distilled water), Group II to IV animals received subcutaneous injection of 3mg/kg body weight testosterone for two (2) weeks after which Group III animals were treated with 150mg/kg Gongronema latifolium and Group IV animals were treated with 5mg/70kg body weight finasteride for four (4) weeks. The result obtained showed that all the groups recorded significant differences (p
