Evaluation the Effect of Solanum melongena on Some Coagulation Parameters among Sudanese People in Khartoum State, Sudan

Abstract

Background: Eggplant is the fifth most economically important solanaceous crop after potato, tomato, pepper, and tobacco. Eggplant is rich in vitamin A, vitamin B1, vitamin C, vitamin D and protein and calcium, blood vessels can become soft. Objectives: this study was conducted to determine the effect of Solanum melongenaon some coagulation parameter among Sudanese people in Khartoum state. Materials and Methods: A cross -sectional study was conducted at Dar Eloloum College for Science and Technology in Khartoum state among 30 Sudanese who eat eggplant and 30 who are non-eat eggplant (sensitive) during the period from August 2021_September 2021.The venous blood sample was collected in sodium citrate anticoagulant, the analysis was done using manual technique. Results: The study showed that there is no significant differences in mean of PT in study group compared to the mean of the normal control (p value =0.493). In other hand the mean of INR is not significantly decreased (P value = 0.691) in study group compared to the mean of normal value (mean =1). Whereas APTT was not significantly decreased in study group compared to the mean of normal value (P value=0.195) (mean=32). Discussion: We have studied the effect of eggplant on coagulation parameter PT and aPTT in the period from April to September, and we conducted the study on 60 individuals 30 eat eggplant and 30 not eat eggplant in the age group (15-25) male and female in Khartoum state in at Dar El oloum College for Science and Technology. There is no previous studies were founded concerning the current study. Up to our knowledge the result showed that there are no significant differences in mean of PT and aPTT in study group compared to the mean normal control. Conclusion: The take of Solanum melongena had no effect on PTand aPTT.
