Overview

This study demonstrates changes in complete blood count in rats treated with roasted yam extract, suggesting toxicological risks.

Key Points

  • This research aims to examine the impact of roasted dioscorea rotundata extract on blood parameters in rats.
  • Rats were treated with 150mg/kg body weight of roasted yam extract for 21 days.
  • Complete blood counts were determined using a hematology analyzer.
  • Data analysis was performed using IBM SPSS version 20 with significance set at p<0.05.
  • Rats treated with roasted yam extract showed a significant decrease in red blood cells, hemoglobin, and hematocrit.
  • Increased values were observed for white blood cell types including neutrophils, eosinophils, monocytes, and basophils.
  • The findings indicate potential toxic effects linked to consumption of roasted yam bark flake.
