Efficacy of unripe Musa Sapientum entire fruit on neuromuscular power and olfactory muscle Creatine kinase

muscle, olfaction, performance, M. sapientum, calciumAbstract
Background: The performance of daily activities is dependent on several factors, such as strength, balance, flexibility, endurance and perception of sensations of special senses. Unripe Musa sapientum is the most cultivated tropical fruit in the world, with scarce literature concerning its neurologic relevance.
Objective: This study determined the tendency for Unripe Musa sapientum entire fruit hydromethanolic essence to influence neuromuscular strength, endurance and olfaction in normal condition.
Materials and Methods: Peak absorbance was read at 200 to 1100nm using ultraviolet visible spectrophotometry to determine some bioactive functional groups in unripe Musa sapientum entire fruit essence. The test groups ii-iv were orally subjected to graded doses of unripe Musa sapientum entire fruit; 100, 150 and 200mg/kg respectively, all compared to control group i.
Results: There was a significant dose-dependent improvement in olfactory response, neuromuscular strength and endurance. Unripe Musa sapientum essence caused a dose-dependent significant decrease in plasma creatine kinase but increased acetylcholinesterase and ionized calcium in cerebral cortex and cerebellum.
Conclusion: The effectiveness of the essence on the tested parameters was progressive and its efficacy may be dose-dependent.
