Green leafy vegetables are very common in the Sri Lankan diet, among them being aquatic-based leaves, roots, and fruits such as Ipomoea aquatica, Alternanthera sessilis, Nelumbo nucifera, Nymphaea pubescens, Aponogeton spp., Neptunia oleracea, Ottelia alismoides and Ceratopteris thalictriodes (Munasinghe et al., 2010; Kananke et al., 2014). of its pharmacological effects.

To investigate the antidepressant-like effect of hydroalcoholic extracts of different plant species of genus Eugenia and to characterize the participation of the monoaminergic systems in the mechanism of action of the specie that afforded the most prominent antidepressant-like efficacy. significantly reduced the immobility period of both unstressed and stressed mice significantly as compared to their respective controls. The aquatic plants in CWs play a vital role by adsorbing contaminants from wastewater and causing sedimentation of suspended particulate matter thereby reducing biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) (Venkata Mohan et al., 2010a,b). The activity was studied on Swiss Albino mice using the Tail Suspension Test and the Forced Swim Test, at doses of 100mg/kg b.w.

The methanolic extracts of Clerodendrum infortunatum afforded greater memory enhancing effects in comparison to Alternanthera sessilis extract, the higher dose evoking pronounced alteration behavior and better learning assessments. 4 min 06 sec: Full Screen Alternate Alternanthera sessilis of sub-effectives doses of Eugenia brasiliensis with fluoxetine, imipramine and bupropion were also for...
