EVALUATION OF SKELETAL MUSCLE ACTIVITY OF METHANOL EXTRACT OF TECOMA STANS SEEDS (METSS) ON ISOLATED FROG'S RECTUS ABDOMINUS MUSCLE

Skeletal muscle activity of Methanol Extract of Tecoma stans Seeds (METSS) was studied on the green frog (Rana hexadactyla) by the rectus abdominus muscle preparation. Methanol Extract of Tecoma stans Seeds (METSS) with distilled water 1μg/ml, 10μg/ml and 100μg/ml concentrations. The result indicated that the treatment of Methanol Extract of Tecoma stans Seeds (METSS) alone and combination with acetylcholine produce skeletal muscle activity. Thus from the present study it was concluded that Methanol Extract of Tecoma stans Seeds (METSS) have good skeletal muscle activity alone and in combination with Acetylcholine.
