Effect of the tuber of adenia globosa on isolated rat uterus preparation
Abstract
The effect of the tuber aqueous extract of Adenia globosa Engl. (Passifloraceae} on the isolated rat uterus was determined. The extract caused a dose-dependent contraction of the uterus. This activity would explain the traditional usage of this plant in hastening parturition in domestic animals.
