ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

The study was to determine possible pathological changes induced by the consumption of C. icaco and possible health implication. Animal feed tests were carried out using varying amounts of the seed mixed with usual mice meals. The result revealed weight loss; and increase in total bilirubin; protein; albumin; globin; cholesterol level; alkaline phosphate and mean serum glutamic - oxaloacetate transaminase and serum glutamic - pyruvic transaminase activities. Possible health implications are discussed
