Effect of Methanol Extract of Anchomanes Difformis on Gentamicin Induced Nephrotoxicity in Wistar Rats

Abstract

<i>Anchomanes difformis</i> (AD) of the family Araceae has strong ethnopharmacological relevance and has been used traditionally against varying pathological conditions, including diabetes, asthma, pain, wounds, microbial infections, gastrointestinal related problems and kidney pain. However, whereas some of these folkloric uses and claims have been proven scientifically, others are mere indigenous claims.
