Body weights of mice subjected to acute toxicity assessment of the hydroethanolic extracts of E. floribundus and A. indica.
| Groups | Body weight (g) ± SD | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Day 0 | Day 7 | Day 14 | |
| (A) Mice treated with HEEF | |||
| Control | 22.0 ± 0.7 | 23.7 ± 0.9 | 24.8 ±0.6 |
| 2000 mg/kg | 23.3 ± 0.9 | 24.0 ± 0.7 | 24.9 ± 0.5 |
| 5000 mg/kg | 22.1 ± 0.3 | 23.2 ± 0.7 | 24.1 ±0.2 |
| (B) Mice treated with HEAI | |||
| Control | 22.0 ± 0.7 | 23.7 ± 0.9 | 24.8 ± 0.6 |
| 2000 mg/kg | 22.1 ± 0.7 | 23.3 ± 0.3 | 24.6 ± 0.3 |
| 5000 mg/kg | 22.0 ± 0.6 | 22.5 ± 1.0 | 24.7 ± 0.8 |
Female mice were administered a single dose of each plant extract at doses of 2000 mg/kg (5) and 5000 mg/kg (3) and mean body weight was recorded before the treatment (day 0) and on days 7 and 14. The control group received 200 µL of distilled water. HEEF; hydroethanolic extracts of E. floribundus; HEAI: hydroethanolic extracts of A. indica.
