Metiram complex is a non-systemically acting fungicide of the group of ethylenebisdithiocarbamates (EBDC). The subchronic and chronic toxicity and the carcinogenic potential of metiram (containing 2% ethylene thiourea, ETU, as an intentionally added impurity) were investigated. Doses in the chronic/carcinogenicity rat study were 0, 5, 20, 80, or 320 ppm. In the carcinogenicity study in mice, di...

Acute and subchronic toxicities of Tud-Rak-Ka-Sai-Puu (TR) recipe were studied in male and female rats. After 14 days of a single oral administration of test substance (5,000 mg/kg body weight), measurement of the body and organs weights, necropsy and health monitoring were performed. No signs and differences in the weights and behavior were observed relative to the control rats, suggesting tha...

This study aimed to investigate potential acute and subchronic toxicity of rhodium (II) citrate in female Balb/c mice after intraperitoneal injections. In the acute test, independent groups received five doses; the highest dose (107.5 mg/kg) was equivalent to 33 times that used in our previous reports. The other doses were chosen as proportions of the highest, being 80.7 (75%), 53.8 (50%), 26.9...

BACKGROUND Xeniji, produced by fermenting various types of foods with lactic acid bacteria and yeast, has been commonly consumed as functional food. However, nutrition value, bioactivities and safety of different fermented products maybe varies. METHODS Organic acid and antioxidant profiles of Xeniji fermented foods were evaluated. Moreover, oral acute (5 g/kg body weight) and subchronic toxi...

OBJECTIVES This study was carried out to clarify the subchronic and chronic toxicity, and carcinogenicity of 2-amino-4-chlorophenol(ACP). METHODS Carcinogenicity, and chronic and subchronic toxicity of ACP were examined by feeding 10 rats of both sexes ACP-containing diet at a dose level of 0 (control), 512, 1,280, 3,200, 8,000 or 20,000 ppm (w/w) for 13 wk and 50 rats of both sexes at a dose...

Phyllanthus niruri is a medicinal plant (commonly known as stone breaker) found in the tropics and other parts of the world. It is known for its capacity to block the formation of calcium oxalate crystals and kidney stone formation in urolithiasis. This plant has been used to treat hyperglycemia, hypertension, pain, and mild cases of malaria. We examined the geno-, cyto- and overall toxic...

The use of this material under current use conditions is supported by the existing information. This material was evaluated for genotoxicity, repeated dose toxicity, developmental toxicity, reproductive toxicity, local respiratory toxicity, phototoxicity, skin sensitization potential, as well as, environmental safety. Repeated dose toxicity was determined to have the most conservative systemic ...

The roots of Hymenocardia acida are used in traditional African medicine to treat mainly erectile dysfunction. This study aims evaluate the lethal and sub-lethal toxicities aqueous extract two rodents species, namely Mus musculus Rattus norvegicus. acute intraperitoneal oral were determined by method Miller Tainter. Subchronic toxicity with doses 500 1000 mg/kg body weight was assessed accordin...
