Effect of prunus spinosa and amygdalus extracts on stress induced changes in mice

ABSTRACT

Aqueous and oil extracts of two prunus species namely Prunus spinosa and prunus amygdalus were evaluated for their ability to reduce the induced stress changes in mice. Plasma corticosterone [PCS], glucose and blood cholesterol levels, were affected by the intake of aqueous extract of Prunus spinosa but no significant was observed with oil extract of Prunus amygdalus in mice under stress
