✦ Synopsis

NOTE

(TCH,,) was determined by a method using IgM-hemolysin-sensitized sheep erythrocytes at 1 x 10" cells/ml. Control was provided by incubation of NHS with water and GVB*+. The activity of the sample was expressed as the percentage inhibition of the TCH,, of the control.

Measurement of hypoglycemic activity. -Male mice (Std:ddY strain, 25-30 g) were used in groups of five and given food and drinking water freely. Each sample of mucilage was dissolved in physiological saline solution and injected (i.p.). Blood was drawn periodically from the orbial sinus by micro haematocrit-tubes.

The D-glucose level of the plasma obtained by centrifugation of blood was measured with a D-glucose analyzer by the D-glucose oxidase method. The results were evaluated by one-way analysis of variance.

## Abstract Okra fruits and baobab leaves are just two examples of foods used to give a mucilaginous quality to West African food dishes. The mucilages were extracted from both foods and purified. Preliminary studies have been conducted to characterise the mucilages chemically, as well as study the
