Abstract
This study was carried out to determine the levels of iron and vitamin E in wistar rats administered with Boletus edulis extracts. Twenty-four adult male rats weighing between 100g and 120g were assigned into four groups of six rats each. Group A served as a healthy Control group. Group B, C and D were administered with extract of Boletus edulis with a dose concentration of (40mg/kg, 80mg/kg and 120mg/kg body weight) respectively for 28 days. The results obtained showed that administration of Boletus edulis caused a significant increase in iron and serum vitamin E when compared with the control group (P<0.05). These changes in the serum iron and serum vitamin E were dose dependent. This observation probably implies that Boletus edulis extract could probably be beneficial in the treatment of anaemia and fertility issues
