The effect of aqueous extract of the tuber of Adenia globosa on the isolated preparation of the rat
uterus was determined. The crude drug caused a dose-dependent contraction of the tissue
preparation. This action was enhanced by a small dose of oxytocin. The results are discussed in
relation to the traditional uses of this plant.
