This work is aimed at evaluating the sharp diuretic activity of the aqueous extract of Ceiba pentandra leaves in the rat. Male rats weighing between 150 and 180g were chosen to carry out this study. Five doses of (100, 150, 200, 250 and 300mg/kg) of the aqueous extract of Ceiba pentandra leaves were used. The selected animals were then distributed in to eight batches or groups of five rats each. The volume of urinary excretion, food and water intake were determined. The rats were the killed (sacrificed) 24hrs after treatment and the blood collected in heparinated tubes. | Diuretic activity of the aqueous extract leaves of ceiba pentandra (Bombacaceae) in rats
