Acute and subchronic toxicity studies of an aqueous extract of Morinda citrifolia fruit in rats
This experiment was conducted to evaluate the toxicity of an aqueous extract Morinda citrifolia fruit on Sprague-Dawley male rats through acute (LD50) and subchronic studies. In the LD50 test, rats were given three dosages of M. citrifolia extracts (1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 g/kg of body weight). They were o...
