Acute and Subacute Toxicity of Rhamnus prinoides Leaves on Histopathology of Liver, Kidney, and Brain Tissues, and Biochemical Profile of Rats.

Summary

This study evaluated the toxicity of a plant found in Ethiopia that is used for medicinal purposes. Rats were given different doses of the plant extract, and their organs were examined for changes. The study found that a single high dose did not cause mortality and a four-week administration did not produce any changes in food intake, weight, or organ function. This suggests that the plant extract may not be toxic in the short term, but further research is needed to evaluate its long-term safety.
