Abstract
Effects of the Aqueous Extract of Cnestis Ferruginea on the Histological Structure of Female Rat Ovary and Uterine Horns
Highlights
Man has been using medicinal plants to treat diseases for millennia
It is in this context that the plant species Cnestis ferruginea (Connaraceae) a plant used in the treatment of several affections including “sterility” and increased fertility according Tra Bi [3] and N’guessan et al [4], caught our attention in this study
The results obtained on the structure of the ovaries indicate that the extract of C. ferruginea induces a significant increase in the number of corpus luteum
Summary
Man has been using medicinal plants to treat diseases for millennia. According to estimates, more than two-thirds of the world’s plant species are of medicinal value. There are still many plants for which the mode of action, the biological targets and the side effects of the molecules are not yet elucidated They are used by a large part of the population to heal themselves. It is necessary to carry out pharmacological research to study the effectiveness of these plants used in traditional medicine. It is in this context that the plant species Cnestis ferruginea (Connaraceae) a plant used in the treatment of several affections including “sterility” and increased fertility according Tra Bi [3] and N’guessan et al [4], caught our attention in this study. This work aims to show the pharmacological effects of the aqueous extract of Cnestis ferruginea on the ovary and uterine horn of adult female rats
