Highlights
Traditional Medicines have over time given alternatives to conventional and orthodox medicines in the treatment of many conditions at more affordable rates, especially to poor rural populace in developing nations
The current study investigates the effects of aqueous leave extract of Desmodium adscendens on the serum levels of Sodium, Chloride, Potassium, and Bicarbonate ions, and the implication on cardiovascular function in healthy wistar rats
The significant decrease in serum concentration of Na+, Cl, HCO3- and significant decrease indicate that the extract has the potential to lower blood pressure, and that may be attributed to the active phytochemical constituents present in the leave
