Parkia Biglobosa Essay
Plants are valuable gift for animals; few are toxic but most possess high economical and medical values. Due to their prolonged usage they could cause some measurable changes in the physiological and metabolic functions of the organisms. Parkia biglobosa is a traditionally used natural product for medical, food, piscicide practices. Labeo rohita is a widely cultivated fresh water carp. We studied the impact of plant extract of P. biglobosa on fingerlings of L. rohita by analysing certain secondary stress responses such as blood parameters (Hb, Hct, RBC, WBC, MCV, MCH and MCHC), energy regulators (protein, glucose), transaminases (GOT and GPT) and ion transporter (gill Na+ /K + ATPase). Median lethal concentration (96h) in the study was found

It is a species belongs to family Fabaceae formerly Leguminosae and subfamily Mimosoideae (Bayala et al., 2005). P. biglobosa was first recorded by Michel Adanson in 1757, named as Mimosa biglobosa by Nicolas Jacquin in 1763 then Palisot de Beauvois described as Inga biglobosa in 1816 later in 1826 Robert Brown reclassified and renamed as genus Parkia. P. biglobosa is one among plant species included in the human foods, piscicides and traditional medical plant practices. It used in the treatment leprosis, diarrhoea, malaria, pneumonia, chest pains, jaundice, cardiovascular diseases, amoebiasis, bronchitis, diabetes mellitus, dermatosis, wounds, anti-snake venoms and pains (Campbell-Platt, 1980; Abbiw, 1990; Nacoulma, 1996; Boyer et al., 2001; Shao, 2002; Arbonnier, 2002; Asuzu and Harvey, 2003; Agunu et al., 2005; Gronhaug et al., 2008; Millogo-Kone et al., 2008; Tijani et al., 2009; Builders et al., 2011). It is also used as nutritious condiment namely dawadawa, soumbala, netetu, natto, kinema in some countries (Campbell-Platt, 1980; Odunfa, 1981; N’Dir et al., 1994; Wang and Fung, 1996; Sopade et al., 1996; Diawara et al., 1998; Tomlinson et al., 1998; Beaumont, 2002; Azokpota et al., 2006). P. biglobosa is commonly used plant piscicide, which could cause effects at higher concentration (Dalziel, 1955; Irvine, 1962; Obiozoba, 1998; Ajaiyeoba, 2002; Fafioye et al., 2004; Fafioye et al., 2005; Agunu et al.,
