Abstract

Background: Physalis alkekengi by effective ingredients such as alkaloids, glucocorticoids and because of antioxidant property can play a role in homeostasis. The aim of this study was to examine the possible effects of fruit extract of P. alkekengi on blood homogram.

Materials and Methods: Forty male rats were divided to control, sham (normal saline) and experimental groups (highest, moderate and minimum doses of alcoholic extract). Then, the blood samples were taken in order to perform laboratory test by Sysmex analyzer, and were analyzed using ANOVA.

Results: Results showed that the number of red blood cells, hemoglobin, hematocrit increased and white blood cells decreased.

Conclusion: Fruit extract of P. alkekensi is probably effective in treatment of anemia.
