Evaluation of the toxicity of aqueous extracts of Aframomum melegueta, Picralima nitida, and Garcinia cola in Wistar rats Kabongo TJB Luvingisa LA Ngoie MP Musuyu MD Musunga MA Kabamba MWPyana PP<p>In order to determine the risks to human health associated with the use of certain medicinal plants, including Aframomum melegueta, Garcinia kola and Picralima nitida in a preclinical evaluation of the resistance, a pool of these three aqueous extracts was given once daily for ten days by gavage in Wistar rats. Haematological and biochemical analyzes after oral administration revealed a decrease in certain hepatic biomarkers such as glucose, Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT), etc., and renal biomarkers such as urea, creatinine, and creatinine kinase); increase in certain biomarkers such as Aspartate Transaminase (AST), an indicator of kidney and liver capacity.</p> Open Journal of Biological Sciences - Peertechz Publications 2023-05-11 Research Article https://doi.org/10.17352/ojbs.000035 en Copyright © Kabongo TJB et al.
