Angiogenic activity of citrullus lanatus (watermelon) fruit extract using chorio-allantoic membrane (cam) assay.
The Angiogenic effect of Citrullus lanatus using whole fruit crude extract was tested using a 12-day old duck embryo CAM assay. The extraction of fruit extract was obtained to produce the desired concentration such as T₀ (control), T₁ (25%), T₂ (50%), T₃ (75%), T₄ (100%). The results indicated th...

| Summary: | The Angiogenic effect of Citrullus lanatus using whole fruit crude extract was
tested using a 12-day old duck embryo CAM assay. The extraction of fruit extract
was obtained to produce the desired concentration such as T₀ (control), T₁ (25%),
T₂ (50%), T₃ (75%), T₄ (100%). The results indicated that through the
administration of various fruit extract of Citrullus lanatus has varying effects to
the number of new blood vessels in a 12-day old duck embryo. T₄ is the only
treatment which is the best candidate for angiogenesis. Therefore Citrullus
lanatus (watermelon) is capable of angiogenesis due to its phyto-chemical
components, the higher the concentration, the more effective in controlling
angiogenesis. Lower concentration of the extract administered means lesser effect
therefore the concentration must be increased. |
