Tudor Spataru, Theodor Dumitrescu, Mariana Moraru, Francisco Fernandez and Petru Spataru

Article Type: Research Article | First Published: 2023/10/06

Organic halide toxic compounds have penetrated into all natural environments, including natural waters and soil, due to industrial and agro-industrial activity, becoming an obvious danger to human and animal health. One of the factors that can dispose of toxic organic halide compounds is the catalytic activity of the cob(I)alamin cofactor of vitamin B12 through direct or bacterial action. ...

Article Type: Research Article | First Published: January 29, 2023

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the acute and sub-acute toxicity of the trunk bark hydro- ethanolic extract of Stereospermum Kunthianum Cham: in Wistar rats. For acute toxicity assessment, three 12-week-old female rats were administered by gavage a single oral dose of 2000 mg/kg of the trunk bark hydro-ethanolic extract of Stereospermum kunthianum. LD50 was estimated after 14 days of observation. Subacute toxicity was assessed at three dose levels: 500, 1000, and 2000 mg/kg....
