Anti-Inflammatory Activity of Tridax Procumbens on Albino Mice by Using Plethysmography
Abstract
This study examined the anti-inflammatory qualities of Tridax procumbens, a medicinal plant that has long been used to treat various illnesses. Albino mice were used to produce inflammation, and the anti-inflammatory properties of Tridax procumbens extract were assessed utilizing Plethysmography, a method used to quantify variations in limb volume as a sign of inflammation.
Two groups of mice were used: control and experimental. The latter group was given various dosages of Tridax procumbens extract. Plethysmographic readings were obtained after inflammatory induction at regular intervals.
Compared to the control group, the mice treated with Tridax procumbens extract showed a dose-dependent decrease in inflammation. The extract exhibited noteworthy anti-inflammatory properties, as indicated by the reduction in limb volume variations as determined by Plethysmography. These results bolster the traditional application of Tridax procumbens as an anti-inflammatory and point to future research opportunities for this plant's potential as a natural treatment for inflammatory diseases.
