Abstract

Aims: To investigate the effect of pooled extract of Annona muricata (A. muricata) and Allium sativum (A. sativum) on testosterone-induced prostate hyperplasia in male albino rats. Experimental Procedure: Male albino rats for the study were divided into seven groups identified as A-G groups. Group A and G were used as negative and positive controls with 12 and 5 rats respectively. Male rats in group B-G were induced with 3mg/kg body weight of testosterone propionate injection subcutaneously for 28 days. Animals in group B and C received 100mg/kg body weight of individual Annona muricata and Allium sativum extract respectively, while animals in group D-F received 100mg/kg, 300mg/kg and 600mg/kg body weight of the pooled extracts. We evaluated relative prostate weight(PI),serum prostate specific antigen(PSA),interleukins-6(IL-6), total protein, and histological changes including KI 67  and BCL2 expressions. Results and Conclusion: The study revealed that pooled extracts of A. muricata and A. sativum significantly inhibited prostatic hyperplasia; decreased PI,serum PSA,IL-6, total protein, and expression of KI 67, far better than the any of the single plant extract in this study. This suggests that pooled extract of A, muricata and A, sativum may be used as a therapeutic agent for prostatic hyperplasia, as a result of the influence of the phytochemical constituents.
