IMPACT OF ANTHOCYANINS FRACTION OF MAIZE SEEDS ON THE LIVER HISTOLOGY AND SERUM ENZYMES OF WISTAR RATS
Abstract
ABSTRACT
This research was aimed at assessing the impact of anthocyanins fraction of maize seeds on the liver histology and liver enzymes of wistar rats. In this present study, twenty (20) Wistar rats were randomly redistributed into three (3) groups of control (animals received water and food only), low dose (animals received water, food and anthocyanins fractionate of maize seeds extract at a low dose of 2000mg/kgBw) and high dose (animals received food, water and anthocyanins fractionate of maize seeds at a dose of 400mg/kgBw) respectively. At the end of the three (3) weeks experimental period, animals were sacrificed and all the livers were harvested and washed with 10% formalin and the histological slide were prepared. Our results shows morphological observable significant (P
