Abstract

The present work aimed at studying the effect of Tinnas grewia, on raising the level of  hemoglobin, in female albino rats and to compare the effect of haemojet drug for the treatment of anemia. Twenty-five adult female albino rats, weighting 150±10g were used in this study, and dividing into the following groups (each 5 rats). Groups 1 and 2 were negative and  positive control . Group 2 was positive control group fed on basal standard diet and orally administrated daily 3 cm of haemojet.  From groups 3 to 5 fed on basal standard diet and orally administrated daily  at  doses 0.5.1 and 1.5 cm of Tinnas grewia extract. The mean value of  hemoglobin, WBC in group 3 & group 4 which were fed on Tinnas by different levels were significantly lower than haemojet group, While, they were significantly higher in group 5 than haemojet group. The mean values of RBC in group 4 and 5 showed significant higher values as compared to haemojet group; while, it didn't show significant difference between group 3 and haemojet. At the end we recommend drinking Tinnas grewiaextract, because it is improving the level of  hemoglobin in the blood and treating anemia.
