Naungayan Juvy D.

Abstract: The study was conducted to determine the potential of Talinum triangulare Jacq. Willd.) for selected haematological, liver and kidney parameters. The data obtained were statistically analyzed using three-way variance analysis with Tukey's Honestly Significant Difference test, post-hoc tests to assess the level of significance between control and experimental groups. The conversion of data to percentages is compared and expressed to quantify the change, and the different parameters tested before and after oral administration have been increased and decreased. Results showed that the leaves of Ceylon Spinach contained an appropriate amount of saponins, tannins, sterols, triterpenes, glycosides, flavonoids and alkaloids. Among the three treatments of the crude extract the 150 mg/kg was consistent and effective to have the highest improvement in terms of increasing the level of RBCs and PCVs which can contribute significantly in the treatment of anaemia, but not in persons with kidney and liver diseases without medical supervisions.
