Abstract

Skeletal muscle activity of Coffea arabica seeds extract was studied in the green frog (Rana hexadactyla) by the rectus abdominus muscle preparation. Coffea arabica seeds extract with distilled water 1μg/ml, 10μg/ml and 100μg/ml concentrations. The result indicated that the treatment of Coffea arabica seeds extract alone and combination with acetylcholine produce skeletal muscle activity. Thus from the present study it was concluded that Coffea arabica seeds extract have good skeletal muscle activity alone and in combination with Acetylcholine.
