Abstract

There has been growing global concern over Datura stramonium toxicity in livestocks, pets and humans following ingestion of the plant. Effects of ethanol leaf extract D. stramonium (ELEDS) in liver lipid profiles, oxidative, antioxidant biomarkers and liver tissue of rats were investigated and possible ameliorative effects of ethanol leaf extract Moringa oleifera (ELEMO). Fifty adults male Wistar rats were randomly divided into five groups of 10 rats each. Group I were administered distilled water (2 mL/kg), group II; ELEMO (200 mg/kg), group III; ELEDS (170.4 mg/kg), group 1V; ELEDS+ELEMO and group V; ELEDS+ physostigmine (0.02 mg/kg). There was significant (P < 0.05) decrease in triglyceride and superoxide dismutase in ELEDS-treated groups compared to controls. Whereas, significant elevations were observed in high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol and malondialdehyde compared to controls. Microscopically, the liver of rats in ELEDS- treated group showed congestion and necrosis. Values in ELEDS+ELEMO-treated groups were comparable (P > 0.05) to controls. The ability of ELEMO (200 mg/kg) to ameliorate changes in lipid profile, peroxidation and antioxidant, caused by D. stramonium (170.4 mg/kg) is suggestive of a novel finding. This finding may be useful especially in areas where animals are prone to D. stramonium toxicity with poor accessibility to antidote.
