Pain was induced by 0.6% acetic acid in high fat diet-manipulated,&amp;nbsp; alloxaninduced hyperglycaemic rats. Paracetamol® (65 mg/kgBW) served as positive control, while olive oil was used as negative control. Test groups were administered ethyl acetate extracts of the traditional African herbal extracts (TAHE) at a dose of 50 mg/kgBW. All interventions were administered as a single dose by oral gavage. Analgesic activity was measured by counting the percentage of writhing movements as a measure of alleviation of visceral pain by each intervention. The results showed that ethyl acetate extract of&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;Zea mays L&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;. and&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;Nauclea latifolia&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;Smith leaf,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;Manihot esculenta&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;Crantz leaf and stalk had peripheral analgesic activities of 53.27 %, 55.71%, 69.02% and 60.73% respectively as compared to Paracetamol® (57.32%).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue></record></records></xml>
