ABSTRACT
Objective To provide the toxicity basis for safety evaluation of Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids.Methods Acute toxicity test,micronucleus test of born marrow in mice,Ames test,sperm shape abnormality and thirty-day feeding test in rats were conducted in this study.Results The oral LD50 of Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids in both mice and rats were more than 20.0g/kg.BW,so the Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids was classed as actual non-toxicity.The results of micronucleus test of born marrow in mice,Ames test,sperm shape abnormality and thirty-day feeding test in rats were negative.The thirty-day feeding test in rats demonstrated that it had no obvious toxic effects on routine blood,body weight,and biochemical index.No obvious adverse effects dose of this sample was 6.66g/kg.BW.Conclusion Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids toxicity test results showed no obvious toxicity and was safe for edibility.
ABSTRACT
AIM:To estimate the toxicological characterization of Jiutong Capsule(Radix Puerariae lobatae,Fructus seu Semen Hoveniae,etc.).METHODS:The acute toxicity test,micronucleus test of bone marrow cell,sperm shape abnormality test in mice,the Ames test,and 30 days feeding test in rat were performed.RESULTS:(1) The acute toxicity test showed that LD_ 50 of Jiutong Capsule was more than 10.0 g/kg.(2) The result of Ames test,micronucleus test of bone marrow cell,and sperm shape abnormality test were negative.(3) The 30 days feeding test showed that Jiutong Capsule had no cumulate toxicity in mice.CONCLUSION:The results show that Jiutong Capsule does not have toxicity,and it can't cause mutation and heredity toxicity.
