| Abstract | There are evidences showing the effects of Portulaca oleracea on various systems of body. The main aim of this study was to determine the Portulaca oleracea seed extract on RBC membrane stability in male and female rats. In this laboratory experimental study, female and male Wistar rats blood samples were divided to control group and groups exposed to 6mg/kg/body weight of hydroalcoholic Portulaca oleracea seed extract. In each group 5 blood samples of 5 rats were examined. Membrane stabilizing activity of each blood sample was calculated and the data were analyzed using ANOVA. Membrane stabilizing activity of the extract was significantly lower in male rats compared to control group (P<0.001); however, in female rats there was no significant difference between membrane stabilizing activity of the extract and control group. Our results indicated that 6mg/kg/body weight of hydroalcoholic Portulaca oleracea seed extract has anti-stabilizing activity on RBC membrane stability in male rats; according to which, may have inflammatory effects.
