The aim of this study was to evaluate the toxicology safety of a genetically modified (GM) Bacillus thuringiensis with vegetative insecticidal protein (VIP) gene. Acute and subacute toxicity studies by using its powder preparation were conducted in Wistar rats. The result of the acute study showed the no-observable-adverse-effect level (NOAEL) of this GM B. thuringiensis powder preparation was ...

Background. Dianthus basuticus is a commonly used medicinal plant in Basotho traditional medicine for the treatment of diabetes, but there is no report on its safety or toxicity. Therefore, we evaluated the toxicity profile of the hydroethanol whole plant extract of Dianthus basuticus in Wistar rats. Methods. Acute toxicity test was performed with single oral administration of 100-3200 mg/kg bo...

Medicinal plants (e.g. Discaria americana) have been used by populations for centuries. However, popular use is not enough to validate these plants as safe and effective medicinal products. The present study sought to evaluate the acute and subacute toxicity as well as the anxiolytic and antinociceptive effects of D. americana root bark and aerial parts extracts in mice. In acute toxicity studi...
