Abstract
The diuretic and saluretic activities of aqueous and aqueous-alcoholic extracts of bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus L.) fruits and shoots were studied in laboratory animals. The results obtained here showed that aqueous extracts of shoots and preparations based on fresh bilberry fruits had moderate diuretic and saluretic activities. Aqueous-alcoholic extracts of air-dried fruits and shoots decreased diuresis and saluresis as compared with a control group.
