摘要: OBJECTIVE: The aim of the present study was to analyze effect Cissus quadrangularis plant petroleum ether extract on development long bones during intra-uterine developmental stage in rats. METHODS: Pregnant rats (n=12) were randomly assigned into either a control group (n=6) or treatment group. treated with at dose 500 mg/kg body weight from gestation day 9 until delivery. animals received an equal volume saline. Newborn pups collected both groups for alizarin red S - alcian blue staining differentiate ossified and unossified cartilage. cartilage (bone) morphometrically analyzed using Scion image software. RESULTS: Morphometric analysis revealed that percentage total length born dams significantly higher (P<0.001- -0.0001) than CONCLUSION: results suggest maternal administration pregnancy can stimulate fetal bone growth period.
