Preliminary investigation of the angiogenic potential of Ziziphus oenoplia root ethanolic extract using the chorioallantoic membrane model
Susovan Sinha Mahapatra, Satyaranjan Mohanta, Amit Kumar Nayak*
ABSTRACT: The angiogenic potential of an ethanolic extract of Ziziphus oenoplia root was evaluated by the chick chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) model (in vitro) in 9 days old fertilized chick eggs. The tested extract was found to increase the number of capillaries on the treated CAM surfaces from three 9 days old fertilized chick eggs. These findings suggested that the ethanolic extract of Z. oenoplia root possesses significant angiogenic potential, which may be beneficial in the treatment of wound healing.
