Abstract
This study investigates the anti-inflammatory effects of cosmos sulphureus plant leaves using rat models. Utilizing a controlled experimental design, we administered various doses of cosmos sulphureus leaves extract to male Wistar rats induced with inflammation via formalin or carrageenan injections. Parameters measured included paw edema, biochemical markers of inflammation, and histopathological changes. Results indicated a significant reduction in swelling and inflammatory markers in treatment groups compared to control. This finding support cosmos sulphureuspotentialasanaturalanti-inflammatoryagenthighlighttherapeutic value in managing inflammatory conditions. Further studies are warranted to elucidate its mechanisms of action.
