Type: article
Abstract: The study aimed to investigate the effect of Energy 3000 herbal mixture on some haematological indices in male albino rats. The study was conducted using twenty male albino rats which were divided into four groups of five rats per group. Group 1 served as control and was given feed and water only. Groups 2 to 4 were administered 0.2, 0.4, 0.8ml/kg body weight (bw) of the herbal mixture. This treatment was done for 28days, after which blood samples were collected for the measurement of haematological indices. Results obtained were subjected to statistical analysis. The results obtained show that energy 3000 herbal mixture at the dose of 0.8ml/kg bw significantly (P<0.05) increased the WBC (from 5.0 to 10.0) 109/L, Hb (from 11.7 to 12.2) g/dl and platelets (from 200.1 to 224.5) 109/L when compared to the control. The result suggests that energy 3000 herbal mixture caused significant changes in haematological changes in haematological indices of male albino rats.
