Los parametros estudiados fueron peso corporal al inicio y semanalmente; hematocrito, hemoglobina, proteinas totales y albumina al final. Resultados: se obtuvo menor aumento del peso en el grupo tratado con Noni-C a la dosis de 14,5 mg/kg por 21 d, pero hubo significativa elevacion de la hemoglobina en este grupo. Conclusiones: se demostro que el Noni-C tiene efecto sobre el peso corporal y los parametros sanguineos Introduction: ethnomedical studies reveal the beneficial qualities of the Noni fruit, a wide range of medicinal properties stemming from the various parts of the plant and a long history as food. Objectives: to determine the effect of Noni-C (dry powder from Morinda citrifolia L. fruit) on the body weight and the blood parameters by using an in vivo experimental model with male Wistar rats. Methods: two groups of animals were used, that is, Group I comprised controls without treatment and Group II included rats treated with 14.5 mg/kg of Noni during 21 days. The studied parameters were body weight at the beginning of the experiment and then weekly, whereas hematocrit, hemoglobin, total proteins and albumin were counted at the end.
