Pumpkin seed effects on haemoglobin level on rabbit animal.

Abstract

Objective: To evaluate pumpkin seeds effects on improving low haemoglobin level in rabbits. Study Design: Experimental study. Setting: Pharmacology Department PUMHSW, Nawabshah. Period: January 2020 to March 2020. Material & Methods: Thirty adult health rabbits were chosen for the study by keeping inclusion and exclusion criteria as standard. Pumpkin seeds powder measured quantity 250 mg and 500 mg was given to different groups for 60 days as once a day respectively. The samples of blood were taken at standard equal. At zero time, first reading marked as day 0. Thereafter further samples were taken twice monthly for 60 days. Complete Blood Count was analyzed with Automatic Hemoglobin Analyser. Data was assessed statistically in groups as means through correlated pairs t test and thru SPSS version 21.0. For all comparisons, upto 0.05 P value was considered significant. Result: The mean Haemoglobin values on day 0 were found non-significant statistically within study groups while comparing with control. Whereas, there a growing increase from day 15 to day 60 was observed in the Haemoglobin mean values in group B and C on all successive reading taken twice monthly. All the interpretation creates highly significance statistically when as compared with control. It shows the pumpkin seed’s haematopoietic effect in anaemia cases due to iron deficiency. Conclusions: Seeds of pumpkin can be substituted with common methods as a good plant nutritional source for to improve haemoglobin in anaemia due to iron deficiency.
