Abstract: Beetroot is a plant with high nutritional and medicinal value. This study investigated the anti-anaemic effect of beetroot on wistar rats. 25 male wistar rats were randomly assigned into 5 groups (n=5) thus: control, anaemic, beet(only), beet(LD) and beet(HD) groups. Except for control (0.2ml normal saline) and beet(only) groups, other groups were induced with anaemia using phenylhydrazine (60mg/kg) intraperitoneally on days 1-3. Beet(only), beet(LD) and beet(HD) groups received oral standard (200mg/kg), low (100mg/kg) and high (400mg/kg) doses of beetroot extract respectively daily for 14 days. Results show that RBC count, Hb concentration and PCV decreased by (38%, 31% and 20% respectively) in anaemic group compared with control. RBC, Hb concentration and PCV increased in beet(LD) (68%, 57% and 30% respectively) and beet(HD) (87%, 69%,and 35%respectively) groups compared with anaemic group. MCV increased (36%) in anaemic group compared with the control......
