Effect of an ethanol extract of Rhaphidophora pinnata leaves on the micronucleus assay in mice.
| No. | Group | Number of Micronuclei/1000 cells ± SEM |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 0.5% CMC Na | 20.60 ± 2.96* |
| 2 | Cyclophosphamide | 55.00 ± 2.95 |
| 3 | EERPL 500 mg/kg bw | 25.20 ± 0.66* |
| 4 | EERPL 750 mg/kg bw | 15.20 ± 0.66* |
| 5 | EERPL 1000 mg/kg bw | 9.20 ± 0.66*,# |
Note: All recorded rates were compared with the control group* (p < 0.05) and cyclophosphamide group# (p < 0.05). CMC Na: Sodium Carboxymethyl cellulose, EERPL: Ethanolic Extract of Rhaphidophora pinnata leaves.
