ABSTRACT
The toxicological studies of the alcoholic extract of the red alga Corallina officinalis L. including its effect on the liver and kidney functions were investigated. A dose of 400 mg/kg animal body weight [1/10 LD50] did not affect the liver and kidney functions, while a dose of 3.10 g/kg animal body weight exhibited a significant increase in SGPT, SGOT, blood urea and creatinine. The seasonal variation of amino acids composition proved that the protein of C. officinalis L. collected in winter was characterized by a higher content of essential amino acids than the other two algal samples collected in spring and summer
