studies on the ameliorative effect of coconut water against carbon tetrachloride induced toxicity in rats.

Purpose: Coconut water is used in folklore medicine for oral rehydration, treatment of childhood diarrhoea, gastroenteritis and cholera, and is also known to possess antioxidant properties.

Objective: In this study, we examined the ameliorative potentials of coconut water on carbon tetrachloride (CCl) induced toxicity in rats.

Materials And Methods: Rats were randomly assigned into separate cages according to the sex of 5 groups.

Effect of Quarrying and Stone Crushing Activities on Nutritional Composition, Heavy Metals and Oxidative Stress Indices of .

Background And Objective: Physiological and biochemical changes in plants are indicators used for monitoring cellular activity of plant prior and post exposure to harsh environment. This study investigated the impact of quarrying and stone crushing activities on heavy metals, plant nutritional composition, phytochemicals and oxidative stress indices of Aspilia africana.

Materials And Methods: Different parts of A.

Ameliorative effect of aqueous leaf extract of on phenylhydrazine-induced anaemia and toxicity in rats.

is used in ethnomedicine for the treatment of overweight, constipation and anaemia. This study evaluated the ameliorative effect of aqueous leaf extract of on phenylhydrazine-induced anaemia in rats. Acute toxicity was determined in male and female rats (n = 5/group/sex) by oral administration of single dose of up to 5000 mg/kg of the extract.

Evaluating bioactive constituents and toxicological effects of aqueous extract of fermented seeds in rats.

Objective: This study aimed at evaluating the bioactive constituents and the toxicological profile of the aqueous fermented seed extract of .

Materials And Methods: The chemical constituents of fermented were assessed using GC-MS. For acute toxicity study, one-time doses of up to 5000 mg/kg of the extract were orally administered to male and female rats whereas 200, 400 and 800 mg/kg of the extract were orally administered daily for 14 days in sub-acute toxicity investigation.

Toxicological Evaluation of Phytochemical Characterized Aqueous Extract of Wild Dried (Mont.) Mushroom in Rats.

(Mont.) is an edible wild mushroom with tough fruiting body that belongs to the family Polyporaceae. It is used in ethnomedicine for the treatment of ulcer, anaemia, cough and fever.

Safety Evaluation of an Aqueous Extract of Termitomyces robustus (Agaricomycetes) in Wistar Rats.

Termitomyces robustus is an edible and highly nutritious wild Basidiomycetes mushroom. It is used in ethnomedicine for treating malnutrition-related diseases, rheumatism, diarrhea, gonorrhea, anemia, and hypertension. Despite the tremendous use of this delicious edible mushroom as a source of nutrients, no comprehensive literature describes its safety and toxicity profiles.

Toxicological profile of the aqueous-fermented extract of in rats.

Objective: This study was conducted to assess the toxicity profile of the aqueous-fermented extract of in rats.

Materials And Methods: In acute toxicity test, the rats of different groups were orally administered with a single dose of 500, 1000, 2000 and 5000 mg/kg of fermented extract of . The rats were monitored for behavioral changes, toxicity signs and mortality.
