Objective: This study is aimed at evaluating the effects of Willd fruit pulp powder on diarrhea induced by castor oil in Wistar rats.

Materials And Methods: Three different tests were carried out. A preventive test by administration of a single dose of 250, 500, 1000, 2000, and 4000 mg/kg before the induction of diarrhea by castor oil.

Comparative Physicochemical Screening and Toxicology of Hydroethanol Extracts of the Parts of l'Hér. ex DC. (Fabaceae) in Wistar Rats.

Aims: The aim of this study was to compare the phytochemical profile and acute and chronic toxicity of hydroethanolic extracts of three parts of .

Methods: Seven major chemical groups (alkaloids, flavonoids, saponosides, coumarins, tannins, triterpenes, and steroids) were studied. The single dose limit test of 5000 mg/kg body weight was used to evaluate the acute toxicity of each organic extract.

Hepatoprotective Effects of (Astereaceae) Extract on CCl-Induced Liver Injury in Broiler Chickens.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of leaf extract (VALE) on the carbon tetrachloride-induced hepatotoxicity (CCl) in broiler chickens. A total of 360-day-old broilers were divided into 4 treatments of 90 birds each consisting of 6 replicates of 15 birds each. The treatments were birds offered 1 mL/kg BW saline (control group), 100 mg/kg BW VALE, 1 mL/kg BW CCl (CCl-treated group), and 100 mg/kg BW VALE + 1 mL/kg BW CCl (VALE + CCl group).
